Let me see if I have this correct - the city is planning to implement these public safety measures but also reporting how crime is already down. Talk about proactive public safety measures. Don't even wait til the safety measures are implemented. Crime already down!
Yes, I think you have that correct.
Crime has actually been going down for the last couple of years in most big cities. You were not aware of that?
From the link above on the crime rate in SF:
"In the first quarter (Jan 1-March 31) of 2024, property crime is down 32% and violent crime is down 14% compared to the first quarter of 2023. This builds on major improvements seen in 2023, when the City saw decade low crime rates, except for 2020 during the pandemic shutdown."
The crime rate in San Fran is about 5,000 per 100,000 or 110% higher than the national average. It is more dangerous than 98% of American cities, both small and large. Fox News is being truthful with you. Maybe turn off MSNBC and CNN and learn the real truth. Because you don't know the real truth.
How old are you? Over 70?
It’s not normal to allow your life to be dictated by Fox News crime statistics.
I have never researched such things before traveling and enjoying life.
Noyankee doesn’t understand the difference between inflation and prices at the grocery store. He thinks if inflation goes back to the desired target rate of less than 2.0% then prices should plummet at the grocery store. He is wishing for deflation. Which is very bad.
That is now two of our right wingers that were absent during high school economics.
Prices at the grocery store is what matters.
Not some official numbers

The American Rescue Plan was probably the single most irresponsible piece of legislation since the Carter Administration. It put identity politics ahead of economics and the end result was crippling inflation and lasting debt that we now owe increased interest on that will erode the government’s ability to afford basic services for decades. The $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan is ultimately costing us an additional $500 billion more a year due to the increased interest we now pay as a result on the $34 trillion pile of debt we have accumulated over the past four presidencies.
Sustaining the U.S. national debt is expensive due to rising interest rates. The cost of gross interest now exceeds one trillion dollars. Costs have nearly doubled in 3 yrs. How is the U.S. govt dealing with National Debt?
And every Republican (but McCain) voted to end the ACA
They want to give tax cuts to rich people, not help you and me be healthier.

This is hubris. It WILL hurt you/us in November. Acknowledging it is important b/c people are really struggling.
some number of people will always struggle. but we've very rarely had an economy this strong for so long. especially when our economy is far and away stronger than the rest of our peer group.
fact is, inflation is now low, wages are growing fast, unemployment is low, the dollar is strong, stocks are up, home prices are up...not sure by what economic measure things are bad

The American "Rescue" Plan was passed in 2021 and was a 2 TRILLION spending plan. Oh, Agip will insist that Covid caused the 9% inflation by the Harris/Biden presidency. He never mentions the American Rescue plan or the other Biden/Harris spending/pork bills.
San Francisco, Portland, and Seattle, three of the largest cities on the West Coast, led the pack regarding property crime. Seattle had the dubious distinction of having the highest burglary rate two years in a row, while San Francisco passed Memphis with the highest larceny rate.

Every Republican voted against the American Rescue Plan that brought massive inflation as well. Voting against the ACA is a badge of honor. The ACA has under performed (to the tune of 8 million fewer enrollees than they projected), has cost far more than projected (new enrollees are costing taxpayers about 3 times what was projected) and has not lowered costs in the least. It caused mass consolidation of both insurers and providers which has decreased competition and kept prices rising. The ACA has been a boondoggle, but was enacted in such a way as to make it essentially impossible to reverse.

23 million people visited last year. More than the year before.
Stay in your basement if you want. You're missing out.
I'm afraid that some of you guys may not have done a careful cost-benefit analysis before encouraging M*G*s to get out more. Just for starters, on the cost side, do you guys actually want to see them more?

No one's arguing that crime doesn't exist. But crime in SF, and in most big cities, has been coming down for a few years now.
23 million people visited SF last year. They spent billions of dollars there. If you would actually see things with your own eyes, you might realize that big cities are not the hell holes that FOX wants you to believe they are. I visit NYC and Philly regularly, and I can tell you that's true from my personal experience.
