>Crime overall has fallen since Mr. Boudin took office in January 2020 lol, that's pretty easy to do when you just stop prosecuting people. Same way graduation rates increase if you just stop failing people. Who cares about the actual purpose of institutions or whether goals are being achieved, just make sure the numbers are what we want https://twitter.com/DavidSacks/status/1533544746173571079

This can't be simple as a corrupt or lazy prosecutor, right? What is the full story here?

Have you tried putting weed in your carry-on on any foreign airline? The drug laws in many America cities and states are "far left" relative to the rest of the world. Coincidentally, lax drug laws have caused many issues in SF that led to Chesa Boudin's recall
We do have a drug epidemic happening but the answer certainly isn't locking people up.

The once-in-a-century pandemic also had significant effects here, both on the DA office and courts, and on the level/types of crime in the city, making it hard to get a clear causal story about the relation between prosecution decisions vs. crime rates.
What is the “actual purpose” of the DA’s office in your view: to prosecute as many cases as possible, irrespective of circumstances?

I’m curious how many people would agree with this comment. If Chesa and his policies are not considered far left, who/what is? It seems that his polices were on the extreme end of the progressive spectrum, and that both his supporters and critics would agree with that statement.

Chesa being thrown out on his ear just means a slightly more moderate liberal will be installed in his place. Your belief that this represents a swing to the republican party is outlandish and deranged. This is San Francisco we're talking about.
Yes. Meanwhile across the bay in Alameda County the criminal justice reform candidates are doing quite well.
