Some residents in the City by the Bay are on edge as car break-ins, thefts and robberies rise, telling Fox News the city is becoming more dangerous.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The safety in San Francisco has been getting worse,” Andrea, a babysitter, told Fox News. “I’ve lived here my whole life \u2014 it’s always been a little unsafe, it’s a big city, but recently, it’s just been crazy high.”<\/p>\n

“My mom even got her car stolen from outside of our house and there is no police to respond,” the nanny continued. “It’s alarming.”<\/p>\n

Homicides and robberies are both up double digits \u2014 12% and 13%, respectively \u2014 compared to this time last year, according to San Francisco police data<\/a>. Motor vehicle thefts are also up 9% while other crimes such as burglary, larceny and assault are down.<\/p>\n

“Yeah, crime is up for sure,” Christy said. “I am definitely seeing cars broken into.”<\/p>\n

But David, a 12-year San Francisco resident, told Fox News: “I’ve never felt unsafe a single time.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Even though its crime trends are better than other major cities, San Francisco “is worse than the data shows,” Charles “Cully” Stimson, a Heritage Foundation senior legal fellow and a former prosecutor for the city, told Fox News in April<\/a>. He said falling trust in police and county prosecutors cause crimes to go unreported, artificially softening data.<\/p>\n

“Before, there wasn’t so much crime because there was more police monitoring,” Andrea said. “Now, you barely see them.”<\/p>\n

“I know it’s not their fault because they’re defunded and there’s not a lot of them,” she continued. “But it would be nice to have that protection.”<\/p>\n

San Francisco decreased law enforcement spending in 2020, but then increased the police budget the next two years, according to a city report<\/a>. Despite an increase in law enforcement funding in the city’s latest budget, San Francisco’s Police Department’s full-duty sworn officers count is at a decade low, police data show<\/a>.<\/p>\n

‘NO RULE OF LAW’: DEFUND MOVEMENT IN THIS TOWN WAS A ‘DISMAL FAILURE’ THAT LEAD TO MORE CRIME AND LAWLESSNESS<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Jeff, a young father, told Fox News: “It just generally does feel like things are less safe, a little bit more dangerous.”<\/p>\n

A group of teenagers assaulted and robbed several mothers<\/a> and babysitters last month in an affluent San Francisco neighborhood. Residents told Fox News the incident provoked a sense of lawlessness<\/a> in the area.<\/p>\n

Grocery and convenience stores in the city have been victims of rampant retail theft in recent years. Whole Foods’ flagship location shuttered<\/a> in April due to safety concerns. Walgreens has closed at least six locations<\/a> in the city since 2021, with a spokesperson citing “organized retail crime” as a reason for five of the closures.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘PROBLEMS HAVE ESCAPED’: CRIME IN THIS LIBERAL CITY IS NOW SPREADING TO ONE OF THE RICHEST NEIGHBORHOODS IN US<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Grocery store chain Safeway installed anti-theft security gates at self-checkout this month to combat theft. Patrons must scan receipts at the security gates to leave the store.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Residents are particularly concerned about their safety at night.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“There are times that you would be perhaps more worried about going to a certain neighborhood in the city at a certain time of night,” Teri told Fox News. “It’s getting worse, absolutely getting worse.”<\/p>\n

Jeff said: “There are times where I will say, ‘yeah, maybe I’ll just kind of like stay inside a little bit’ if it’s later at night or dark where you have that underlying sense of I’m taking a risk.”<\/p>\n

“It’s not fun to have to think about that,” he continued.<\/p>\n
