If you’ve seen some of the ads in BART stations lately… or San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie’s posts on Instagram… you may notice an emphasis on safety and security in the city. But if you go back in time, there's physical evidence that this rhetoric isn’t new. You can find it in neighborhoods all over the Bay.
