I know for a fact that since pandemic I've been threatened a bunch by bums and once minorly assaulted. None of that made it into the statistics as there's no point to reporting; the city council, the state legislature, and the DA are cool with me getting threatened and assaulted.

Foolish use of metrics is everywhere these days. Carefully consider what the facts you have mean.

There are also crime victimization surveys which, instead of counting reported crime, sample the population and ask which crimes the respondent have been victims of - the DOJ nationwide one doesn't seem to be out for 2023 yet.

We can't run this country based on feeling and anecdotes. Sorry. It's not an option.

People can vote based on whatever they'd like.

I suppose they can. There's plenty of countries who vote on superstition and anecdotes. A lot of them are still industrializing.
