do you see the crime rate drop in the Bay area?

honestly, i don't have a good baseline to really say.

i spent 1 month in SF recently and it was kind of similar to NYC tbh. mostly safe but you gotta watch out during late nights in some areas.

i could be ignorant here since i am pretty new to the bay. wdyt?
