The effects of San Francisco ignoring crime under District Attorney Chesa Boudin are still being felt throughout the city. It is minorities who feel those effects most acutely.

According to the San Francisco Chronicle, “Some residents still feel afraid to walk home alone or lock their bikes downtown.” A poll commissioned by the Chronicle found that 54% of black residents had something stolen from them over the past five years, as had 55% of mixed-race residents. That is higher than Hispanics (50%), Asians (43%), and white residents (43%).
