We live on the peninsula just south of San Francisco. Two visits ago we came back to our parking spot - daylight, on a busy street, lot had an attendant - to find that 25 cars had been victims of smash and grab while we were in the museum. My kids were visibly shaken while walking by all of the broken glass, wondering what had happened to our car. The break-ins stopped at our vehicle.

Our last visit to SF was in January for a show at the Opera House. I’ve never seen such sadness on those streets before. My oldest said, “Mom, I know I should say hi to people, but it doesn’t feel safe here.” My kids are asking not to go to SF anymore.
