I mean, it could also be in part due to people being pushed into crippling poverty due to completely out-of-control billionaire private entities dominating and controlling property markets. Increased poverty = increased crime. We have known this basic sociological principle literally for thousands of years but apparently it's impossible to solve. Especially in America which considers any sort of market regulation to be "terrifying socialism".
