...but still not "most" places in the East Bay. (And though it may be a statistical anomaly, for homicides in 2011 so far SF is running even with Oakland, and San Jose almost as many.)

Edit: Corrected; at first I wrote that SF and SJ each had more than Oakland, but the actual numbers seem to be SF-11, O-11, SJ-10... if the rate continues, each will have a much worse year than last year.
