Critics online are tearing into the San Francisco Chronicle after the newspaper suggested recently that burglaries are simply a “part of city living” and something that residents should perhaps “tolerate.”
The paper’s shocking statement comes as the Democrat-run California city continues to experience skyrocketing crime rates in 2021, including increases in violent crimes such as shootings and aggravated assaults as well as in property crimes such as car break-ins and retail theft.
The Chronicle itself reported over the summer that in San Francisco’s Central District, car break-ins were up a whopping 753% and noted on Friday that the city as a whole has been hit with a 13% increase in burglaries from last year.
