Let me guess, you lived in a modern high rise apartment/condo? I've lived here for more than 10 years and have personally witnessed more crime in the past 2 years than I had ever seen before.

No one is "manufacturing" this. There's a reason the DA was recalled, and it's not because SF residents were "tricked by Republicans".

Police are of course part of this, but are prosecutors, and lawmakers.

You can be pedantic and say there's no "crime wave", but there is absolutely a discernible increase in crime.
