> You have a well defined problem: high rates of property crime and drug use

Did we read the same article?

Here I thought TFA said the rates of property crime and drug use aren't exceptionally high, and relative to the distant past, actually quite low. But that against a backdrop of an empty downtown thanks to being all tech workers who are now remote, all you see is the ~normal urban blight, so it stands out in terms of visibility.

SF has one of the highest measures of property crime in the country. Article was mainly referring to violent crime. Don’t have any drug stats off the top of my head
