By the way, SF replaced their "soft on crime" DA. And the crime has gotten worse.

Where is your correlation now?

Or, maybe, just maybe, complex problems have complex causes and complex solutions.

If the DA is known to not charge crime, then people will not report crimes that occur because they believe it to be a waste of time. In the year after a special election to replace a DA for being too soft, I expect the crime rate to go up as people decide to see if the new DA will actually take it seriously this time.

If it stays up for several years then I would see a problem, but all I'm seeing right now is the expected result of a forced regime change.
