Statewide crime rates in California fell consistently in the years subsequent to the passage of Prop. 47, and in 2019 the state’s statewide crime rates reached their lowest levels in recorded history

If you don't arrest anybody, then stats will go down.

I live in SF, and it's pretty dangerous. So whatever stats you're quoting don't apply to SF.

I suggest you watch some of the antifa/BLM downtown attacks on pedestrians to see what lawlessness looks like - that happens daily in SF.
