SAN FRANCISCO -- Hamid Moghadam knows about the city's crime problem all too well. The CEO of San Francisco-based Prologis was robbed at gunpoint outside of his home, in broad daylight.
Moghadam wanted to tell his story to KPIX 5 because on top of this serious rise in crime, he has another concern -- his employees' safety and the concern other companies may decide to leave or not set up shop here in San Francisco. Moghadam says safety should be the top priority. He is part of the executive committee of the Bay Area Council, an economic development association.
The Bay Area Council found that more than half of respondents felt San Francisco wasn't safe, with nearly two thirds saying they avoided downtown because of crime.
