The data disagrees with what I have said, yes. But so did the data of the 1932 Ukrainian harvest and subsequent famine [1]. The Ukranians reported a record harvest, in the same way the SF Chronicle reports "crime is actually way down". I've lived in SF for 12 years, its never been so bad. You see it, you feel it, business are closing because of it. Business data may back up what I have said, you could google walgreens crime stats in SF as an example. Target is another example. Also the 1,000 people who will die due to drug OD are not counted. Why is that?
