In a bid to address the city's drug crisis — and the crime and homelessness that come with it — San Francisco voters shifted right in Tuesday's primary, approving ballot measures that aim to boost enforcement powers.

    Funny how with more police funding. Crime goes down. Murders go down. Life is just better.

      Crime goes down when you abolish police as well. Statistics show fewer people get arrested when there are no police.

        That is incorrect. Crime goes up as the defunded cities have shown. Somalia may be the world you want to live in but not me.

            Show your cite where abolishing the police ended crime. Would love to see it.

              A municipality abolished police and THE VERY NEXT DAY there were zero arrests.

                And? That doesn’t show crime went away.

                Let’s see the cite.

                  I think you’ll find it does.

                  You could ask the police and find they have no record of any crime occurring after they were abolished.

                    Now you are just trolling. You are confusing reported crime with crime.

                    As you can tell from blue cities, cutting the police radically increased crime. Now they are sitting around wondering why.

                    That is why SF is trying to fix it, but it is most likely too late.
