>as much as I am a critic of SF’s policies around homelessness and drugs, it is not a dangerous city that someone will get murdered.

If you read the article, you'll find that SF is a dangerous city in which someone was just senselessly murdered.

A random act of violence can happen anywhere. Objectively, SF is not a dangerous city when it comes to violent crimes. In 2000s, SF was indeed a violent city with triple digit murders.

Get out of here with your logical arguments! You’re ruining the fun for all the people that don’t think crime is a big deal.

And Europe has 10x the rate of Asian cities. What’s your point ? Every country has their own nuances and a city within a country is not devoid of context
