When my friend got robbed in SF the police didnt even show up for 2hrs and the owner of the bar I was at laughed at the idea of calling the police like they'd care. I highly doubt crime statistics reflect how bad it really is. Besides most of the worst of SF is the dirtiness and petty crime that police care even less about. Come out of the subway and see a homeless guy urinating right in front of the steps without even turning away is not something people are calling the police over but is a typical day-to-day experience.

OK, but the police in Mexico City are corrupt, abusive, and untrusted by the public, so the stats there are likely at least as skewed. You think people there are calling the cops when they get robbed? There’s a neighborhood a few blocks from the presidential palace (and tourist center) that the cops don’t even enter. SF has issues, but this thread was contrasting it with CDMX, and my point is that that’s ridiculous.
