In reply to the discussion: Citing Crime, In-N-Out announces closure of Oakland location [View all]Johnny2X2X
(24,117 posts)12. Was in San Fran a few years back
Seemed like I remember it, but I didn't see the whole city or anything.
I do know that new business startups are at all time highs under Biden nationally, not sure about the Bay Area though.
To see areas really impacted by high crime, you mostly have to go to red states who make up most of the high crime states in the country. California has the 17th highest crime rate. But the top 10 is DC, Alaska, NM, TN, AR, LA, MO, SC, SD, and AZ.
Texas has higher crime rates than California, why don't we see all these stories about Texas and crime like we see them in the national media about California?

And why does a big evil company need an excuse to close a store or restaurant?

Your community isn't reporting and keeping track of shootings, thefts, and robberies?

If you know what is going on with your local community because you participate in your local community...

Maybe, but there is enough evidence both macro and micro that the narrative is bullshit.

Yes--it's a very localized thing. I was just in a Walgreens in Santa Fe, NM

Nextdoor is a joke. Our neighborhood has porch pirates, auto thefts and a few break ins.

Why would a burger joint want to get laws passed that treat theft more harshly?

You might as well be asking "why does a big evil company need a PR department?"

"Additionally, this location remains a busy and profitable one for the company ..."

You are blaming that on crime and not the community there being unwilling to pay the asking price to keep them?
