I'd like to see some stats on how many unoccupied homes have been broken into, and squatters found. I recently found this happened in Woodside and Atherton, and am alarmed at the new stats we are dealing with. Yes, people are desperate and weather is cold and wet, but what is the solution?

More effects from passing Prop. 47. Look how crime has spiked in the area since this happened. It is undeniable. Criminals are more entitled and less fearful than ever and more of them are on the street. All the people who want to defend the criminals as if they do these things because they are cold or hungry are the reason crime is spiking because they were/are behind prop 47.
