It&#x27;s odd that the article avoids the question of where crime occurs in the city, as that might provide some answers. A few months ago I made many data visualizations of where criminal arrests occur in San Francisco: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;minimaxir.com&#x2F;2015&#x2F;12&#x2F;sf-arrest-maps&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;minimaxir.com&#x2F;2015&#x2F;12&#x2F;sf-arrest-maps&#x2F;</a><p>The tl;dr is that, as expected, SF crime is centralized in the Tenderloin, with 16th St Mission being a close second. However, as the years progressed, crime has become relatively less centralized around those areas. (there wasn&#x27;t much activity on Lombard Street, though.)
