Why can't everyone living in SF just hire armed security to dissuade crime?
Sit down at outdoor seating at any restaurant in those areas and there is a guard standing there right by the tables while you eat.
San Francisco is about at that point. Years ago I was sitting at some outdoor seating on a first date and a guy walked up, grabbed my dates glass of wine, pounded it, and said "I'm an alcoholic" making eye contact with both of us, as he set my dates glass back down on the table.
Although to generally protect the community, maybe there’s a way we could do like an Uberpool for the whole town? If only there were a way to get everyone to chip in.
