You're completely ignoring the main point if OP, which is that it is NOT up. The presented data is an outlier and likely not statistically significant.

Up 75% from 2019 in the central district is not a notable increase to you?

Pretty sure SF was near the top of the list for property crime in 2019 already too. I lived in SOMA for 4 years and saw break-ins every single night with no police response. Not an exaggeration when I say every night.

OP seems to be handwaving away this massive increase, unless he presents some data to show that May is indeed an outlier vs other months such as June
