What the actual fuck are you talking about? There is no other city in this nation where people leave their cars open. Not a single one.
You're either trolling or so disconnected from reality it's terrifying.
On the off chance you're just ignorant this is your official notice: the way you live is not normal.
Wtf are YOU talking about?? What are you basing that on? I have lived in multiple cities where many people leave their car window down so it doesn't get broken. Even suburbs!
I am baffled by this exchange right now haha. Is there some kind of study that has shown no city has smash and grab crime like SF? It's common nearly everywhere in the US. Are you trying to say SF is a crime-ridden hellhole like no other?
It really, really isn't common.
Here's an NBC report from two years ago: https://www.nbcbayarea.com/investigations/breaking-point-sf-suffers-highest-rate-of-car-break-ins-compared-to-atlanta-dc-dallas-la/2731757/
The TL;DR is that the top cities in terms of car break-ins (per 1,000 people) are:
San Francisco - 19.8 Seattle - 19.7 Atlanta - 12.9 D.C. - 10.4 Dallas - 7.8 Houston - 7.5 L.A. - 6.0
That shit ain't normal. Outside of San Francisco and apparently Seattle. The whole rest of the country doesn't have this problem.
It is a more common problem in certain cities, I'm not denying that but that doesn't mean it's rare in other places. I didn't know it was that much higher there though, that does make those top cities outliers.
This is one of the most intense responses to a comment I've ever had and I was just mentioning an observation of my life experience lol, I don't understand where you are coming from with this.
Ok, trolling for sure.
There's no way a person could be literate and have access to the Internet and be that ignorant.
Ignorant of what?? The things I see with my eyes and ears in real life? I'm seriously baffled, what the fuck is your deal, I even said you were correct
