assigned to that issue, that seems like a big concern. i would wonder how many times you have to bundle them before something happens? my recommendation as a partnership. i was a citizen and worked at that d.a. s office and was concerned about car break ins. on one side, they say there should be more arrests and the other side says there should be more prosecutions. when we sit and the room and say we don t the same offender is getting out, that is probably where there is a solution. there are other folks that i know that d.a. said being responsible to community concerns is a priority. there are some system things we have to work on but it starts with people like you insisting on it. i would recommend a process that is collaborative in nature. thank you for your report. what is your sense in terms of the quality of life on broadway? what is your sense as to how much of the problem can be attributable to the party bosses and how much is attributable to other issues ....
when the clubs close and they are out fighting in the streets. it s that out of control situation. we can address this several ways. the buses are parking illegally. muni is starting to crack down and they have now started a parking in front of businesses. a couple of weekends ago, i took a video of no less than 10 party buses, some as large as a muni bus, some smaller, pull up in front of koi restaurant, which is very expensive, and dumping loads of drunk patrons on to the sidewalk. i inquired with the restaurant and asked them if they gave permission and they said absolutely not, but they don t know what to do. i have also learned that russian hill has been able to ban party bosses all together and they also have an entertainment corridor. that is something i would like to look at but until we have the political will or are able to cooperate with our neighbors to get them banned completely, we don t need them. i would hope you would support helping capt., and the comm ....
central district, 70% of the autos stolen in the central district are recovered in the central district. so in terms of prevention, is there a message that can be sent out to the community in particular if there are basically mass thefts by a few people, then do we know their m.r. s, things people can watch out for? sometimes people just leave their keys in their car. sometimes, some cars are easier to steal than others. what i would recommend is having the car alarm or a club or a kill switch. a lot of these auto shops they have different mechanics to prevent car theft. and are a lot of the cars, are they rental cars? some are rental. i don t know the breakdown, but some are rental. most of the cars that are broken into are rentals. ok. you know, thank you for that. i i was interested in some of the statistic you gave but maybe there were more key questions. one had to do with the seniors, 15% of the central area institutes seniors. it seems like that might b ....
goes from there. it s a work in progress. so in terms of the numbers over the years, you re saying they ve always been there? right, but not to the current degree. not to the current degree. so is there like a 30%, 50% 200. do we have a sense of how big an increase we re getting? i think every year it gets bigger. it s over 100%. because before i never heard of them. but now the last few years i know it s been in the mid poling area, broadway, you see them all around the city now on the weekends. ok, well thank you. another question on a different topic. you reported 30% increase in auto thefts. can you give us an idea of why you think there has been such a marked increase and what your thoughts on are in terms of action to bring that down? i notice several months we had over 30 stolen vehicles when usually we have about 20 per month in the district. and i looked at our crime statistics, and the last month we had a downward trend of about 55% but that was be ....
