>The reason crime is up is that post pandemic things have been a clusterfuck and homelessness is rampant. Parks that used to be quiet friendly communities are now tent cities full of people who burn park benches and break into cars. My favorite small neighborhood convenience store had to close because every night they would bust open his ice machine.
Similar to where I live. I live in a progressive west coast utopia, and post-2020 the city decided it would stop prosecuting any crimes for drug possession and we wound up with massive street side homeless encampments of hobos openly smoking fentanyl crack and meth in the open, along with open air drug markets on a couple specific streets. These streets also happen to be transit hubs so just walking to the train people are trying to sell me pills or meth, and I've seen security ask people smoking crack pipes to disperse from in front of the transit and have watched the security get attacked by these crack fueled hobos.

Coupling that with the city reducing it's police force and instructing them only to respond to calls where there is an active crime endangering life, and telling them they cannot pursue a suspect unless if that suspect is suspected of sex crimes or is an imminent threat to others, crime has exploded here
