State of the Neighborhood

Good news from the Castro Courier, our neighborhood paper. According to the headlines, the Park Station Police Captain says that crime is down in Duboce Triangle!

Not to get too giddy, this means that compare to last year at this time the number of burlaries, robberies, and larcenies dropped from 79 instance to only 50 this year! And while robberies have dropped by 75% a local liquor stor was recently robbed at gunpoint. The only crime area that had an increase was auto boosts, which I doubt is an indicator of people randomly waxing others vehicles out of the kindness of their hearts. So far, the Focus has not been disturbed, which considering we drive it once a week could have occured already, and we're just unaware.
