San Francisco crime rates are up

The chance of having your car stolen went up 26% in 2020 and 52% so far in 2021 (both vs 2019)

The number of violent crimes rose from 0.9 per 10,000 people to 1.2 per 10,000 people—up 34%.

On Muni—violent crimes per rider are up nearly 3X
**The chances of being a victim of a crime increased even as the overall crime rate decreased**

Innumerate, dishonest politicians and their stooges want you to believe "Crime is down" but the SF streets became more unsafe in real ways during the Pandemic.
“When you tell people in San Francisco, ‘crime is down,’ you completely insult what they’re experiencing." —@SupStefani

This is the same thing: The absolute number doesn't matter, it's the relative change that matters

.3 sounds small but 33% is actually a real significant jump

Our public officials are either deflecting or innumerate, either way incompetence reigns

Melgar deactivated her account most likely because she broke laws when she said that the builders and the district supervisor needed to pay off TODCO to get approval

That's actually corruption and graft
As a reminder, this is corruption and graft, the kind that ruins San Francisco and makes this a far worse place than it should be

Deflect all you want, but I don't think we should let corruption stand.

PS, this isn't some hearsay or some rumor

We live in the Matrix of signal value. It's all around us. Baudrillard: "Depth, coherence, meaning, originality, and authenticity are evacuated or dissolved amid the rando swirl of empty signal."

The result? The continual and never-ending squid game of professional careerism
What does that look like? Ideologue careerists like failing District Attorney of San Francisco Chesa Boudin says the opposite of what is happening, yet claims they "took action"

The outcomes matter less and less. Image has become more important to sociopaths than actual outcomes
The startup world is infected with the same madness: "It's not about how much you earn, it's about what you're worth."

Looking successful becomes more important than actually being successful.

But in the long run, this fails. The lies get too big.

I wonder if Internet conspiracy researchers ever do a deep dive and then realize “oh these people are actually pretty much trying to do good.”
If you’re tuning in now from some elaborate plot to ruin me—

Hi My Name is Garry Tan. I grew up in the SF Bay Area. I grew up food insecure at times, child of Chinese immigrants who struggled in a new and unfamiliar land.
We lived in apartments. I got my first job at the age of 14 by cold calling the Internet section since I taught myself how to make websites.

I used those earnings to help pay my parents down payment for our first home. It was the American Dream.

Corrupt SF supervisors say the quiet part out loud now, freely and in the open

“Pay our corrupt nonprofit sponsors (whose staff work for the supervisor’s election campaign) or else”

This should be illegal. In any other part of the world this is graft.
This nonprofit racket is a part of the Peskin-Preston extremist political machine

It’s everywhere. If you are looking for a big driver of how we got here, this is the machine to investigate
Money and power and backscratching is all on display in this story

Instagram long term cohort retention between 50% to 75% for D90 is still amazing

It means 90 days after signup 50% to 75% of teens are still using it

For anyone building consumer social, this benchmark is the stat to beat

I love how 51% is yellow status (that is still v high!)
I wonder what the D90 for heroin is

Maybe only slightly higher than Instagram for teens
What is minimum viable? About 20% and you can still be a global top app

Below that ngmi
