Got to say, you lost me there. Is there an anecdote available?
Sure. As an anecdote, here's an NPR article with SF Mayor London Breed discussing the public disorder in parts of that city...."

My sister and her husband were Alameda County DAs their entire careers (worked with Kamala while she was there).

Though they live in the upscale Oakland hills, they've been burgled, had car windows smashed while shopping in Oakland and SF, and hate how the sidewalk residents have made shopping and dining out a less than enjoyable experience.

Car and store windows are regularly broken on Lakeshore, a short walk from the Alameda Courthouse where they worked. The pop-up market by Lake Merrit has lots of merchandise freshly stolen from stores. Before we drive down into town, they advise us if any of our plans would put us in high risk neighborhoods.

I've fantasized deploying ED209s from dusk to dawn to address the window breakers.
