The crime rate in SF is historically low, one crime occurring has nothing to do with the crime rate, facts don’t care about your feelings, sorry


The crime rate in San Francisco is statistically low because what is considered a crime in other areas is not considered a crime in San Francisco.

I am sure that SF could claim a cow is a chicken and write it into the local laws as such. However, convincing people outside of your city limits that cows are really chickens is a tad more difficult.


Why would I waste my time convincing someone who doesn’t live here that the things they believe about my city are incorrect? If you don’t like it, don’t come here.


I have been there several times recently and quite a few times in the last 30 years. What I believe about your city comes from what I have seen myself, so even if you did try to convince me you would not be successful.

You really think it’s reputation wasn’t earned?
