> Crime is way down, lower than it has been in 15 years. Homelessness is down, lower than the past 4 years.
This makes me so happy. It was heartbreaking to see SF lose the plot the last 10 or so years.

Whether that's good or bad is a different question, but it's very obvious a small number of rich people used their wealth to change the city (and IMO the results have been fantastic so far)
Lurie has been trying to do his version of a crackdown. Mission Local has covered it thoroughly -- he's accomplished very little in reality, because actually, these problems are difficult to solve: https://missionlocal.org/2025/04/tracking-sf-mayor-luries-fi...
The data is publicly available: https://cde.ucr.cjis.gov/LATEST/webapp/#/pages/explorer/crim...
And to be clear I am not even claiming that Lurie alone has caused crime to go down. I am claiming that a small number of rich people have, including all of their actions prior to 2025. What is the alternative explanation? What changed in 2024 under your theory?
Well, bums aren't going to save us, so...
