No surprise. It seems there are no consequences for anything in SF anymore. Homelessness is supported as a viable way of life and the cost of living has a lot of people desperate. Pair that with police that don’t do much, haven for criminals. Last time I was there every window of my rental car was smashed in to take what amounted to a backpack and a phone charger. Really sad. When the populace permits the behavior, it spreads. Such a beautiful place in ruin. I hope it gets better.

I live in SF and while it's frustrating the mainstream narrative is misinformed

At a high level you can categorize crime as violent crime or property crime (note robbery counts as violent crime). SFs propery crime rate is relatively high as is total crime rate, but violent crime rate is not especially high https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_by_crime_rate

In practice this usually means that you don't need to worry much about your physical safety and that incidents like this one are not an SF problem so much as a general problem. I wear my luxury watches around the city all the time and am rarely worried, at least compared to some other cities I've lived in (this story does make me thankful that I'm not a Rolex fan, I don't think a 17 year old thug like the one involved here knows what a Blancpain is)

The SF-specific problem is things like auto theft or getting your car windows smashed in with infrequent repercussions. We've had some meaningful positive progress there over the last few months, but you're not going to hear about that if you don't live here. They've started clearing homeless camps regularly and at scale, increasing efforts to catch auto thefts using drones, and addressing a stupid loophole that enabled the car smash and grabs

I’ve been wearing my sub and Daytona all around San Francisco and never felt unsafe. Unfortunate situation but definitely nowhere near the norm.

The idea that SF is this crime-ridden dangerous hellhole is beyond stupid to me.

Junior corp associate at a V50 firm in NY. Just received offer a few days ago in Charlotte, a city I really want to live. However, the role is for cap mkts /asset securitization and esoteric assets, e.g., auto loans, railroad, etc. I value having some work life balance. I heard the hours in asset securitization / esoteric assets can be awful. The work is very complex / niche. Does this sound about right? I’m tempted to continue search in CLT even though this a top tier firm. Any thoughts? Thx!
