What they don't see are the number of crimes that aren't reported because it just doesn't do any good.
Crime in San Francisco was off the hook back in the 1980s when I first started going to the Bay Area, mostly for concerts and shit. I'd go to hear The Jerry Garcia Band sing about love and peace with a 1911 tucked into my waistband for that 5 block walk back to my truck. There was no fucking way I was going to walk those 5 blocks after midnight through the Tenderloin unarmed.
