I’m downtown SF all day every day.

I’m all over the city all day every day.

I never see windows down.

What are you talking about?



My buddy lives in Oakland. We park and walk around lake Merritt. He always leaves the windows down. His have been smashed four times. Oakland is not SF, but the practice isn’t unheard of.


Last time I was in Oakland to do some volunteer work, the airport car rental staff said “don’t stop until you’re 20 min away from the airport.” When I had dinner with a friend in Piedmont and left her apartment after midnight, she said “you might get mugged on the way back to your car, sorry about that” which was half a mile away. It boggles the mind.


Shh, you’re not allowed to say anything positive about SF, you’ll interrupt the ancient and sacred internet ceremony of people-who-don’t-live-in-SF-talking-about-how-horrible-SF-is.


It’s wild because SF has its fair share of problems… we don’t need to make shit up!


Yes - everything is great. Just go to outer Sunset or Lakeside. For example Stonestown Galleria mall - no crime there.[1]

Weird that the mall is actually a car with windows down… downtown?


If you didn’t personally see it, it didn’t happen, got it.
