El Monstro, Ahhh, you are using the base effect. The violent crime should be conducted on a per capita basis. Since 2019, citizens have been ordered to stay home, the San Francisco population has declined, conventions have abandoned us, Bart ridership is down over 75%, we have extremely high office vacancy rates, and stores are closing as shoppers no longer come to SF.

And you are claiming the decline in violent crime in our ghost town is attributable to Chesa?

Yet crime within the two Covid years has climbed 11% (under Chesa)?

This is getting silly, I'll give you the last word, and I will not respond again to you.

I said SF's population declined PLUS other factors like no conventions, workers not coming into the city etc. During the day, tourists, workers, shoppers, and convention-goers swell SF's population. If you haven't seen that drastic decline downtown, you must not live here.

If you are insistent on claiming that SF crime declined in 2020 while ignoring the effects of Covid, then you have to accept that crime increased in 2021. You have to be consistent in your methods. Here is the SFPD website of crimes that were turned into the FBI for their UCR report

100% of statisticians will say that 2020 to 2019 is an apples-to-oranges comparison while 2020- to 2021, both under Covid, is an apples to apples comparison.

With all due respect, I am not going to analyze an extremely long article link on Prop 47 from a person with an autonomized email address that read my article on fentanyl convictions.

Please publish your name, and I will be happy to share my thoughts on your article. Otherwise, I am assuming you are Chesa.
