Fighting Crime Works Wonders

"We can't arrest our way out of this situation" has been proven to be a falsity many times over now.

Now another lib-tareded trope bites the dust: 

• San Francisco drastically reduced issues they were having on public transit by making it almost impossible to enter without paying, according to a report from The Atlantic.

  The outlet noted that last August, BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) installed six-foot-tall saloon-style doors made of plexiglass with metal frames that were much harder to get through compared to regular turnstiles that could easily be jumped. This change is expected to increase revenue by $10 million per year as riders are forced to actually pay to ride. 

  But beyond generating more income, it’s also led to a decrease in issues that used to plague the subway. Overall crime on BART plunged 41% in 2025 compared to the previous year, with violent crime down 31% and property crime down 43%.

Instead of CTA workers just ignoring - or worse - waving through the homeless, the mentals or the teen-takeover-participants, denying them entry and making them ::gasp!!:: pay their own way cut crime by 40% in a single year.

Combine that with increased police presence and suddenly, the CTA is a functioning government agency almost overnight. 

Gee, next we'll hear that deporting ILLEGAL ALIENS improves crime numbers, too. Or is that already happening?
