Very weird to me that a class of person is attempting to blame SF's quite new DA for all of its problems. It really shows how bad people are at thinking about complex systems. If there's a rise in crime, it must mean you've got to ENFORCE. HARDER.
When in point of fact, SF's primary problem is its restrictive land use compared with its wealthy land bidders, and other terrible local and state governance problems.
In point of fact, 1) the DA's office is much larger than what the elected official can personally control, and 2) ENFORCE HARDER has led to overcrowded prisons w/o room for the person whose recent case has these people calling for the DA's head https://missionlocal.org/2021/01/the-strange-and-terrible-saga-of-a-parolee-and-a-fatal-hit-and-run/
I'm a fan of silicon valley's entrepreneurship culture, but many of them seem to think that the problems they solved providing the services they made them rich are comparable in complexity terms to SF's problems. They are not.
Really and truly the particulars of the case they chose to use as a cudgel against the DA show how little they really care about the details https://missionlocal.org/2021/01/the-strange-and-terrible-saga-of-a-parolee-and-a-fatal-hit-and-run/
