| | New York City Council Member Antonio Reynoso (D) introduced a bill to abolish the New York Police Department’s (NYPD) gang database as gang crime reached a new high throughout the city.

| | The pandemic emptied parts of San Francisco and highlighted some of its drawbacks: human and dog feces smeared across sidewalks, home and vehicle break-ins, overflowing trash cans, and a laissez-faire approach by officials to brazen drug dealing. Parents despaired as public schools stayed closed for most of 2021 as nearby districts welcomed children back to the classroom.

The number of people that died from drug overdoses in San Francisco in 2021 was nearly three times as high as the number that died from COVID. | | The pandemic emptied parts of San Francisco and highlighted some of its drawbacks: human and dog feces smeared across sidewalks, home and vehicle break-ins, overflowing trash cans, and a laissez-faire approach by officials to brazen drug dealing.
