Poll: San Francisco Residents Consider Relocating As Crime Worsens, Quality Of Life In A Decline

• https://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com, By Betty Yu

The poll was released by the SF Chamber of Commerce and based on feedback from more than 500 San Francisco residents who are registered to vote.

It found that more than 40 percent say they plan to move out of the city in the next few years.

Lindsay Stevens just finished moving out over the weekend.

"There's nothing worse than seeing such a beautiful place in such disarray, and I really thought I was going to be sad when the movers loaded up the last container on Saturday, and I have never been more relieved," said Stevens.

After more than 12 years in San Francisco, Stevens recently sold her place and moved to the Palm Springs area.

"I honestly think in the last three years, we've seen a massive decline in the quality of life and that was only enhanced over COVID," she said. "The homelessness has been a severe problem, people are not feeling safe walking their dog… the number of break-ins seem to be constantly on the rise."

Her feelings are reflected in the results of the chamber's poll.
