#tech #engineering #software #swe I think I need to move out of SF. In my 5 years in SF, I have been robbed (armed robbery) twice. I just read something and it hit me close to home that I am so lucky to be alive right now. https://www.sfexaminer.com/news/son-of-chinese-immigrants-19-shot-and-killed-in-suspected-robbery-gone-awry/ This poor kid lost his life. In my case, I was fortunate to just suffer from a black eye and PTSD. This kid is dead. I cried today because I just feel so hopeless. I don't know what to do. I love this city so much- I love the diversity, the culture, the people. But I just realized- both times I was robbed I literally had a gun to my head. And I lived. But maybe I shouldn't have. I love this city, but this case brought back some hard memories for me. I did get therapy and xanax to help with my anxiety. I love San Francisco- but could this happen to me next time? 5 years...been robbed with a gun to my head twice. And I'm crying like a baby right now for this kid. So much potential lost. My heart bleeds for this kid's family. Sometimes I just want to end my life because this world is just not for me. I don't know. I donated to this kid's gofundme. His parents are apparently poor Chinese immigrants. I'm not soliciting- just putting this link out there. Honestly my money and net worth mean nothing to me now. I wish I could have been there for this kid before he died. Thanks all for listening- this is a great community. I just needed to get this off my chest. Thanks all for listening. https://www.gofundme.com/f/kelvin-chew-memorial-fundraiser
That area actually seem ok largely. SF is a mess because of the extreme leftist way of managing the city. The below $900 bs is a gateway into bigger crime. Forgiveness doesnāt bring peace, it brings more crime because crime is easy. They should all be in prison and Iād rather pay more tax to fund a prison no joke
Liberal policies are to blame for this. We need to get strict on crime. Prop 47 was a mistake. Crime is rampant in SF and cops are powerless to do anything about it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_California_Proposition_47
And San Franciscoās DA who is the worst
So many people here agree and yet SF and techies in general lean very liberal and voted for that DA and SF mayor. I guess itās selection bias. All the liberals wonāt enter this thread to comment.
That was heartfelt. I feel terrible things like this will probably get overlooked because it doesn't involve a white life.
It's also hard because he's from a working class immigrant family. They kind of live in the shadows. His name will be forgotten. This news will fade. But a piece of my heart and spirit will hang on to his name till the day I leave this world. Thanks for your comment wework.
You seem very kind. Move to a more peaceful place where you don't have to live in fear. Now where that is...I wish I knew.
Move to Sydney or Auckland. Public health + police that are sane and mostly even handed. Once the quarantine lifts.
Move to suburban area with professionals.. any metro area has the largest city but then the suburbs of said city is safer - take NY or CT
Sucks, really young guy.
ALM!

SF is worse than Compton, criminally speaking
Compton has seen a surge of Hispanic residents. Their crime rates are lower than the previous dominant group.

What made you stay so long? You do know that not all Bay Area cities are like that right? And for gods sake stop loving a city. Love a person, love a pet animal; not a damn city. So where are you planning to move? There are many good places in South Bay.
I just love the feel of a city. I like crowds. I like higher density cities. I'm single with no family- SF fits me really well.
You are trying to fill the void in you life by sorrounding yourself with strangers. Sorry I am being so harsh. But you need to hear the truth, please find something else to love, SF doesnt deserve it. At the very least move to NYC, which is a lot better than SF. May you find happiness and peace! Sorry if I have offended you.
Are Vancouver or Toronto or Austin really safe? I just want to be somewhere safe. It's finally hitting me that I am sooo lucky to be alive. It's a miracle I wasn't killed in either of my past two incidents. And I'm having so much anxiety just thinking about it right now. Prefer to stay in the US like Austin, but worst case I would even look at Vancouver or Toronto. Just don't want to be robbed with a gun again. I can't take it anymore. I also can't believe how lucky I am to be alive right now.
Thatās terrible. That area of San Francisco is horrible too.
