My office before I went fully remote is literally at that corner. Good luck getting me to go back to the office.
I live around that corner. What the hell…

#83People here saying SF is dangerous, the homicide rate is less than 3 per 100k people. I wouldn’t call it dangerous by any means. Shit happens.
SF is 6.9 per 100K -> pretty high... higher than any city in Europe or Asia not currently with an active war... (On those continents, only Ukraine, Iraq, and Afghanistan are more dangerous than SF)

#86This is sad news, but as much as I am a critic of SF’s policies around homelessness and drugs, it is not a dangerous city that someone will get murdered. SF has one of the lowest homicide rates of big cities. For some perspective, Oakland has half the population of SF and almost 3x the murder rate

#87https://www.linkedin.com/in/crazybob/ He was Chief Product Officer at MobileCoin. Hopefully we learn who stabbed him, and why. 43 is just way too young. Thoughts go out to his wife. He was instrumental in creating Android. Whatever you may think of it today, we wouldn't have it if it weren't for him.
San Fran is filled with homeless schizophrenics... I would bet on one of them having killed him... Some of the mentally ill in the large cities are also addicted to meth or fentanyl

#90San Francisco has the notion that drugged up people out of their mind have the ability and the right to live in a civilized society.. Rule by common sense, not ideology.
San Francisco is still only number 66 in murders/population of US cities: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_b... Though Oakland is number 23. Or 18 on this list: https://worldpopulationreview.com/us-city-rankings/cities-wi...
San Francisco has more than twice the murder rate of San Jose.
