## Resource

Homicides nationwide are plummeting — but the story isn’t uniform. While most cities saw steep drops in murders and other crimes like carjackings, drug offenses edged up slightly. Yet even with those exceptions, the overall trend is down, fueled by tech-driven isolation and reduced alcohol abuse. Still, some places like San Francisco, Dallas, and Norfolk buck the trend — San Francisco saw a shocking 55% spike, though local data paints a less dramatic picture. Meanwhile, cities like Little Rock, Rochester, and Lincoln (which went from six to zero murders) shine as crime-crushing success stories. The national drop masks local chaos — and the data’s early nature means official numbers may shift. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
