I’d argue about per capita but nobody who sees this cares about that.

I mean...

A population of 873,965 in San Fran vs 2,304,580 in Houston.

1 in ~25,000 people in San Fran get murdered vs 1 in ~7,150 people in Houston. That's ~3.5x higher. Per capita isn't helping much here.

I’m not saying SF is more dangerous. I’m just saying people are idiots who don’t understand statistics. Which is what got us into this mess.
