Critics online are tearing into the San Francisco Chronicle after the newspaper suggested recently that burglaries are simply a “part of city living” and something that residents should perhaps “tolerate.” What are the details?
The paper’s shocking statement comes as the Democrat-run California city continues to experience skyrocketing crime rates in 2021, including increases in violent crimes such as shootings and aggravated assaults as well as in property crimes such as car break-ins and retail theft.
The Chronicle itself reported over the summer that in San Francisco’s Central District, car break-ins were up a whopping 753% and noted on Friday that the city as a whole has been hit with a 13% increase in burglaries from last year. Residents, feeling unsafe in their own neighborhoods, have reportedly responded by hiring private security to patrol the streets.

“Residents and city leaders are searching for answers: should they tolerate burglaries as a part of city living, and focus on barricading homes? Should repeat offenders get rehabilitation services, or be incarcerated so they can’t commit more crimes?” the outlet tweeted on Friday.
In a linked article, the Chronicle argued the city is in a “quandary” as it pursues criminal justice reform “while debating how to manage rates of property crime that for years have been among the highest in the nation.”
The outlet went on to note that while some residents are “appalled” by the crime rates, others have “grudgingly accept[ed] this element of city living.” What has been the reaction?

Here are some of the best responses: “What the hell is going on in San Francisco? And how is the @sfchronicle seriously asking if residents should tolerate being burgled as part of everyday living?” asked one commenter. “‘Tolerate burglaries as a part of city living’ Actual […]
