San Francisco's crime rate is trending very strangely [1]. Property crime is up dramatically, but violent crime is down. Shelter-in-place likely has a lot to do with that--people just aren't out as much as they were before, so burglaries are easier, and assault is harder. But the overall trend is very disturbing. Crime may be old news, but the rate is higher than it has been in a while, and going up. Housing is down recently from all-time highs, but still very high in absolute terms. So none of this is new, but the Covid shock to the system has created the opportunity for people to leave in the way that there wasn't before. San Francisco will be OK, wave after wave of rise and decline has been its way since the gold rush. [1] https://www.sfchronicle.com/local/article/San-Francisco-s-cr... |
