I was referring to violent crime as outlined in the article.

A lot of petty crime stems from inequality and drug use not from career criminals.

And those issues can't be solved by more policing.

the problems in SF cannot be solved at all at this point

the war for the streets of SF was winnable maybe fifteen years ago

not now, the people on the street have won and the city is theirs

every day, some part of the old SF is dismantled

every day, the number of homeless rises

the homeless have been winning the city inch by inch continuously for over a decade

SF passed the failsafe point a long time ago
