This year's murder rate -- which, as SF Appeal notes, the mainstream media cannot agree upon; it's 18 or 19, depending on who you read -- is kind of low. In fact, as SFist commenter redtim deftly pointed out last week, "last year we were at 48 (according to sfcrime) by Memorial Day." And now? We're at 18, 19, or 20. For SFist alone, it's been damn near impossible to find a consistent, traffic-spiking murder story to post on a regular basis. (Step up to the plate, lazy fucking criminals.) So, why is the murder rate so jarringly low? Has the Obama regime ushered in a kinder, gentler vibe throughout SF? Are our murderers getting craftier? Are reports of murders getting lost? In an effort to get elected governor, is Mayor Gavin Newsom hiding the bodies? Is this some sort of gift from the Baby Jesus? Tell us.

It's because of the economy. Murders can even afford bullets anymore.
Fong quit!
Gavin Newsom is the playboy alter-ego for a caped crusader who has been putting the squeeze on crime.
If you want a real reason it's because the police have been pretty sucessful in disrupting some of the worse drug gangs in Bayview and the Mission. I know that two of the captains Fong hates -- Chignell and O'Leary, have been very effective, and I'm sure others have been too.
very good point.
also, i love, love, love Chignell. he should run for mayor or something.
can we get some more information on this? a link perhaps?
All the bodies are in the abandons. The tombs. We need an enterprising copper to start putting bits of string on the homeless and pretending we have a cereal killer.
Sheeeiiittt
"it's been damn near impossible to find a consistent, traffic-spiking murder story to post on a regular basis"
That explains a lot.
