You're seeing this story because it's about someone related to the tech industry, specifically someone like you.

The murder rate in SF is extremely low. Violent crime as a whole is extremely low.

If a tech founder got stabbed in Zurich, you would indeed see a story just like this.

> Violent crime as a whole is extremely low.

This is such an exaggeration, it's a borderline lie.

Tech founders don't get stabbed in Zurich. In fact, basically nobody gets stabbed in Zurich. They do in SF.

In contrast, 6.5% of the population in SF is the victim of crime every year.

6.5% is the victim of a crime, but not of a violent crime.

For those curious, SF has the 37th highest violent crime rate of anywhere in the country actually, far ahead of Seattle, St Paul, and Vegas. Number 2 for property theft though!

37th in violent crime, yet somehow with a level of crime coverage as high (or higher) than cities in the top 5.
