These are my principles. If you don't like them, well, I have others

There was a marc andreessen clip at one point about all his friends that stayed in SF during covid did so subconsciously because they like to complain about it. I agree with you and him, but it was actually terrible for a while.

There are still issues... for example a few weeks ago someone got shot at near me, outside the argonaut in fisherman's wharf. But it's getting better.

Ive read a few of these and discussed this with @zachharris.eth 

Thing is we’ve got a quasi-7x7 island, so logically it’s pretty easy to put a lid on things. Even when things were “bad” it was mostly just fashionable to gripe about crime. Nothing is ever as bad as people enjoy saying whether it is on price, traffic, crime, whatever

Crazy how when you actually arrest and prosecute criminals, crime just goes down. https://t.co/CTLTGTVWRj

All they did was lock up fewer than a thousand recidivist criminals.  Which means SF officials permitted a few hundred savages to terrorize a city of two million for five years, destroying downtown retail and tourism and causing huge companies to move offices out of the city. https://t.co/ln1RTzlUXD

yeah that’s probably the meat of it, although anecdotally i see fewer homeless people and the city generally feels like there’s a lot less trash strewn in public (tho those three things are probably not unrelated lol)
