SF Chronicle Miscalculates the Math

What is Demian Bulwa smoking?

"Violent crime in the Bay Area's biggest cities dipped in 2007 after two years of increases..."

vs

"the Bay Area's big cities reported a total of 358 slayings in 2007, up from 353 in the year before"

Hm... that's rich. You do the math.

Yet, the last point makes sense.

"Monday's FBI report showed that Oakland had the highest per-capita violent crime rate among big California cities last year. For property crime, Berkeley was on top."


OAKLAND. We're number one!
