[QUOTE="Snattlerake, post: 3994455, member: 44288"] From 2021 [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.nationalreview.com/news/majority-of-san-francisco-residents-want-more-policing-amid-crime-surge-poll/[/URL] The “City Beat Poll” commissioned by the city’s chamber of commerce and conducted in late May also found that[B] 70 percent of respondents believe the quality of life in the city has declined amid a rise in crime and homelessness[/B], according to SFGate.com. The poll comes amid a[B] 753 percent spike in car break-ins [/B]at the police department’s central station compared to May 2020, according to the [I]San Francisco Chronicle. [/I]Thefts are up 75 percent compared to 2019, as well. Meanwhile, in September, the city’s supervisors approved Mayor London Breed’s [URL='https://www.kqed.org/news/11869627/hundreds-rally-in-san-francisco-reviving-demands-to-defund-police']proposal[/URL], as part of the 2021 budget, to[B] cut $120 million from the city’s law enforcement agencies over two years.
