      No, but Republicans want you to think that it is.

      There’s a lot of irrational fear mongering around crime in California that doesn’t hold up to scrutiny.

      Only in San Francisco and LA. My small town neighborhood has most of the cars parked on the street with doors unlocked because nobody steals shit here.

      Yeah it is. There was a guy trying to break into the cars when my mother in law came out to visit and we took her out for pasta - cop car literally casing the lot where we were, then her and my family went to SF for a visit and she had to call the police because there was a guy actively casing cars.

      Got our bikes stolen after leaving them out in silicon valley too inside of a very upscale walled off apartment complex. Took me by surprise because we live in a nice area.

      I’ve had a lot of different first hand experiences that have made me extremely weary.
