If you are into the outdoors and being an active person it is pretty amazing to live here. The cycling here is quite possibly the best in the world and can be accessed without a car within minutes.

There is no way SF had 2.5x violent crime. SF is exceptionally safe when it comes to violent crime, with only ~40 homicides last year

The sources of the data is the FBI "UCR" rates. Why do you believe the FBI is not accurate? That's an odd claim.

To be fair, he said crime rate
I spend a half the year in my Sunnyvale, CA home. I never go to SF to see shows, concerts, etc. Several times a year, when I'm in the U.S., I'll put together a trip to NY, LA, etc, to see several events over a long weekend. And/or go to Tanglewood, Monterey Jazz, Cabrillo music festivals.
People who visit me are shocked to learn that I live 40 miles from SF and never go there. (Especially because I'm a gay man.)
SF really needs to build more housing, and get the homelessness and crime problem under control. Pre-pandemic, SF had 2.5x the violent crime rate of NYC. (That may be different now that crime has spiked in NY.)
