Exactly. There's nothing short of homeless concentration camps and AI pre-crime harassment that could have stopped this.

Cops can only show up after the fact.

Crime is a byproduct of poverty. If you give people something to live for, they're less anti-social. If they have mental health issues making those connections harder to make, we need social safety nets for them.

SF crime seems exaggerated. I spent a week walking around that city and the worst thing I saw was an opiate shit the size of a hoagie.

"Crime is a byproduct of poverty." If that was true middle America would be full of crime and the coastal cities would be free of crime That's the opposite of what is happening
