Hmmm, there were two muggings in Noe Valley at the corner of Jersey and Noe when I was there. Yea, I know, anecdote. I heard one of them. It happened within 100 feet of my apartment at the corner. At the time I just thought it was some kids but found out the next day it was a mugging.
Had my bike stolen from my garage there. Garage was closed.
Also had 4 Japanese co-workers come for GDC and get mugged on Market between 6th and 7th. Broken teeth, concussions.
Some friends of friends moved into an apartment in the mission near 20th and Harrison. They got robbed as they were carrying their boxes up the stairs to their new apartment. They didn't stay in SF.
I don't consider SF "great"
- rwallace 11y agoThat sounds surprisingly bad. Are these considered good areas in San Francisco, or slightly iffy, or very dodgy?
- puredemo 11y agoNoe Valley in particular is considered a very upper class area. The rest mentioned are all decent / above average.
- rwallace 11y agoThat's pretty grim, then. Are other US cities like that, or is it just San Francisco?
- calbear81 11y agoNoe Valley has a lot more families and is generally seen as pretty safe as it's away from the shadier part of Mission. Japanese tourists getting jumped on Market St. between 6th and 7th is pretty crazy. I work on that block and I'm assuming they were on the SoMa side? There are a lot of crackheads and bums but they don't usually bother people. There are drug dealers across on the tenderloin side but they keep to themselves. Harrison and 20th is in a pretty gentrified area (1 block from popular climbing gym, 1 block from Trick Dog bar) so I'm surprised your friend got robbed there. Mostly a mix of high end condos, industrial warehouses, and cool bars. There is definitely a bit of a gang element in the area though.
