What do we actually know about San Francisco?
Two public records. The Census Bureau estimates San Francisco has about 826,079 residents. The federal crash census (NHTSA FARS) counts 180 fatal crashes in San Francisco County from 2020 to 2024, the most in 2024 (42). Those are county-wide counts, not San Francisco alone. Neither figure says an attorney is available here, and neither indicates what any particular case is worth.
