San Franscisco is definitely unsafe now. Before, I was able to walk dog on the ocean beach in morning and everything was was fine. Yes there always homeless people. Now I’m getting harassed by scary looking 100% drugged out young homeless all the time.

Or take example of sunset: in last 20 there were no home invasions in our block: last two years we had two.

Or Walgreens in Richmond: we were always taking a walk thru the park and we would ended up in that Walgreens to pick up random things. But in last two years that Walgreens is like a war zone. I think the latest robbery was on the internet.

So these are anecdotal evidence. And this is why I feel it is unsafe. Stats will not change this feeling.

There seems to be a marked increase in unreported incidents, at least where I live. I don't trust any armchair statistical analysis of this, particularly when the author clearly has an agenda and a narrative.
