Also sounds like this might be a bit of a Fox News effect, where the media has created a perception that isn't in-line with reality. Violent crime overall has been falling in San Francisco according to this study:

SAN FRANCISCO – June 2, 2022 – A publication released today by the Center on Juvenile and Criminal Justice compares crime trends during Sacramento County District Attorney Anne Marie Schubert’s conservative prosecutorial term in office with those of San Francisco’s progressive prosecutors (George Gascon and Chesa Boudin) over a key period in California’s criminal justice reform era (2014-2021). DA Schubert has positioned herself as the state’s leading “tough-on-crime” candidate as she criticizes San Francisco’s progressive DA, Chesa Boudin, and seeks to unseat California’s reform-minded Attorney General, Rob Bonta. Yet DA Schubert’s rhetoric and policies have not delivered lower crime or falling crime rates. In fact, San Francisco has sustained larger crime declines overall and achieved lower rates of violent crime than the City of Sacramento since 2014.
