Have things gotten better since the new DA with a different tone started? Because judging by these comments here, it doesn't seem like the tone matters one way or the other.
I would argue it's an improvement. It's very violating to have your place be broken into. People should be safe at home.
But yes, it does mean businesses and tourists face the brunt of crime again (as they did earlier), and they no longer have enough revenue to be able to eat the losses.
