Crime is on the rise in the scenic avenues nestled along the waterfront. Security cameras are recording homes and garages being burglarized. Vehicles are being broken into with regularity and drugs are openly being used on the streets."I too don't feel safe," said local resident Sam Chehrani."My wife, when she's walking around, I also feel concern. We all walk around with our finger on pepper spray around here.
"The fact that we are witnessing criminal activity on a daily basis, in broad daylight, we're calling the police, we're writing to our supervisor, we've written to the district attorney, we've written to the police captain and also the mayor and no one has responded," he said."It makes it feel unsettled."
Thanks to KPIX and Betty Yu for the excellent coverage of the 1/17 Townhall. Other coverage made it sound like residents are only upset over some car windows smashed and sluggish police response. It is much more!! People are not 'upset', they are frantic.
