The Chronicle's poll revealed negative results. A quarter of those who responded to the survey reported being attacked or scared, and nearly half had experienced a robbery in the previous five years. The majority of people disliked the police.
1,653 city residents were asked 90 questions by SFNext about life in San Francisco. It was completed in June and July, and the responses provided reveal the diversity of the city. This is how the survey was carried out.

45 percent of respondents reported having had something stolen within the previous five years. The majority of respondents were either black or of mixed race. Black respondents claimed 54% of the time, while respondents of mixed races claimed 55% of the time. During that time, 43% of white people had their property stolen.
Despite the fact that they feel exposed, the survey may not have asked enough Asian-Americans about crimes against them.
The crime rate in San Francisco is difficult to compare to the crime rate nationwide. According to the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) of the U.S. Census Bureau's Bureau of Justice Statistics, crime rates decreased from the early 1990s to 2020. These figures, however, do not include the nationwide increase in crime that followed the riots against police in 2020.
The report confirms locals' claims that crime is a factor in people leaving otherwise lovely cities like San Francisco. In San Francisco, the coronavirus outbreak resulted in 6.3% of the city's population dying. However, the tech sector and those who work from home might be mostly to blame for this. Left-leaning prosecutor Chesa Boudin was defeated by voters in June.
According to The Chronicle, 65% of local residents believe things have gotten worse since they arrived there. “The greatest unhappiness stems from frustration with the city’s biggest, seemingly intractable problems — particularly homelessness, public safety and housing affordability — as well as with the politicians who haven’t solved them yet.”
