I am very spoiled by living in one of the European capitals. It's super safe here, and it's normal thing to see young females taking a dog out for a walk in 22-02h. I visit SF at least once a year, and default to my learned habit of walking alone, and later at night. No more.

I never understand why people feel like they can make such generalizing statements as "One of the European capitals".

Europe is not a monolith.

Different areas also have different problems.

It's like the whole talk about "walkable cities" or healthcare.

Everything is frame from a US perspective and simplified to an absurd level so that no contextual criticism is possible without descending into weird political tribalism and an apples to oranges comparison between an entire continent and a country.

My family has lived in SF since the 1800s. I recently moved because it has gotten so bad. I hate what the government has done to my city.

What has the government done to your city?

Downvoting for flame bait. Come on.

There are daily stabbings in London. Often by minors.

> A friend who was planning to meet Lee in Miami this weekend told The Standard that Lee had been in San Francisco on business, had stayed an extra day and was killed on that day.

I am genuinely curious to know how SF residents feel about this.
