San Francisco residents fed up with crime, homelessness: 'It’s getting less safe'

SAN FRANCISCO – The Golden City is still getting more dangerous, several Bay Area residents told Fox News despite that a new district attorney has repealed some of her predecessor's progressive policies. "Crime in the city is worse right now," John, who has lived in San Francisco for over 50 years, said. "We do have a new DA, so maybe things will get better. "But I've been assaulted recently, so I'm kind of leery about that getting better right away," the 74-year-old continued.

Another city resident, Max, disagreed: "I absolutely feel safe in San Francisco. I tell people all the time, try growing up here in the ‘70s and ’80s, it was a lot different."

Boudin's replacement, Brooke Jenkins, has reversed many of her predecessor's policies since being appointed, but that hasn't made the city noticeably safer, residents told Fox News. "Safety in California and San Francisco is horrible," Keith, a longtime San Franciscan, said. "I do not feel safe in the city at all."  "On crime, they don't do anything, they just let the criminals out," he continued.

Keith, who worked at a grocery store in the San Francisco Marina, said criminals used to steal goods from the store, and employees were advised to do nothing.
