This is not correct. SF gets a superset.
Car break-ins in SF were commonplace 25 years ago. They never became bad in the South Bay. SF just has legitimately bad policies that directly cause a lot of their issues.

But keep in mind that police only ever make positive progress on policies in order to extract concessions from the city

"I want to thank our officers for their tireless work. The SFPD hopes to build on this progress with additional tools, like automated license plate readers, to continue making arrests and holding perpetrators accountable."

Oh look, the police force is becoming more politically powerful & crime is down. Wonder how that happens.
