I work remote and hearing some of my coworkers try to defend SF is like hearing a battered woman defend their abusive husband, "it's not that bad really, you just need to do X, if you get robbed you probably deserved it for Y"

boggles my mind that people can rationalize things like not being able to leave bags in their car or they'll get their windows smashed and their stuff stolen. People in other places don't have to live like that

Name a city in the US where you can objectively feel safe at any time and any part? I’ve never been to such a place.

Outside the US, maybe.

> not being able to leave bags in their car

The bar is leaving your stuff in your car, not feeling safe everywhere all the time.

Safety is not synonymous with crime. Certainly not random street crime. I've lived in NYC for 25 years and never really felt threatened. You just need to keep your head up and look both ways before crossing the street. I let my kids walk themselves through downtown Brooklyn and don't really worry. The fact they are rarely riding in a car is huge bonus for safety.

Don't worry, we'll destroy what little is left of this great nation.

Why do you have to be so short-sighted and only think in the US?

You can reform and adopt working policies here too.
