Deep dives
Increased Crime Rates and Public Safety
Recent years have seen a significant rise in crime rates in San Francisco, particularly following budget cuts to the police department, which led to diminished staffing. The current mayor's decision to defund the police by approximately $120 million has resulted in a 25% drop in police presence across neighborhoods. The impact of this decline is felt by residents, with local stores experiencing rampant shoplifting and a diminished sense of safety. The need for a proactive approach to crime prevention and community safety has become a major focal point in the upcoming mayoral election.
