What I mean when I say that the crime rate is in some sense 100% is that if you did go do this there is a 100% chance you’d be bothered. People would ask you what you’re doing and not in a friendly way. I’ve had this experience taking pictures in bad neighborhoods many times. https://t.co/MHPAiIGwhs

This is a good point. There are many parts of Oakland (and other cities) where the crime rate is effectively 100%. As in, if you go there you will be robbed, shot, stabbed, assaulted or worse. These aren’t conservative fantasies. They are real.
The liberals have really flubbed crime, the idea of having pleasant urban spaces, and how most normal people perceive danger. It really was a marvel how quickly they went from #MeToo to, “Let the vagrant have some assault as a treat. It helps with your racism. He’ll probably only maim one of your kids.”
And they wonder why they lose so often.
