I live in Oakland, so have awareness but obviously not direct exposure to SF's current D.A. problems - it seems like SF voted in a person they thought would be a DA that would reduce excessive prison, juvenile->adult conversion, better diversion to mental health support, etc.

It turned out what they actually got was a DA that literally did not do his job, and just had literally everyone arrested put back on the street. Apparently also trying to get his father out of criminal charges as well?

That goes a long way to explain the overwhelming recall in last? weeks election.

The gap for the recall has narrowed to 55-45 as the remaining ballots got counted https://sfelections.sfgov.org/june-7-2022-election-results-s...
