Can someone very briefly wrap this whole "SF is broken"-situation up for somebody from Europe? I only ever read that it's "because of the policies" and there are lots of rather disturbing videos about SF making its rounds on YouTube. But what exactly happened? Did they just remove all the police? Did they gave out free drugs to everybody? I'm not interested in blaming political parties, I just want to get a quick gra…

They have stopped prosecuting repeat offenders, and reduced the size of the police force People are slowly realizing that it was a mistake, but its gonna take some time to fix the situation.
In startup world, you tolerate the crime to get cheap office space
Salesforce went downtown for the cheap rent. Otherwise it was always foggy chilly and a commute mess. Amazon's original offices in Seattle were near some really spooky stuff too. In startup grind you do what you do

Ok, but apparently it was shit even before that, so this can't be full answer.

As demonstrated by the amount of insane 'actually the murder rate isn't that bad' comments in this thread.

In fairness, downtown SF SJ and Oakland were always a tad dicey even back in dot com days so most startups preferred to be in more expensive PA MV Even East PA was the hood. Oakland was famous for riots SF governance has always been terrible. Real estate has gotten so expensive that startups anxious to conserve runway are pushing deeper into bad neighborhoods that were once unthinkable
If the cost of office space were a concern, it'd be difficult to explain why they're anywhere near the Bay Area at all.
Funny how people try so hard to show/prove/argue that SF is safe. If it was, these discussions wouldn’t exist. You won’t see these threads about Zurich, just saying.
Ideology is the problem. There are many who base their worldview not on reality but rather what they wish to be true.
