Oh, I forgot to mention how drugs are sold all day long ("The Wire", corner-boy style) just catty-corner to the police station next to the McDonalds. Two people were shot there in January on the same day. Cars parked in the street are constantly broken into. Despite all the crime, I never see cops.
- Kinnard 10y agoWhoa. What neighborhood do you live in? The article mentions a couple. That doesn't sound like San Francisco.
- ng12 10y agoIt sounds every bit like San Francisco to me. Even nice neighborhoods have problems with car break-ins.
- chrischen 10y agoI've been here over 5 years and can concur the Mission is a hotspot for broken car windows, stolen bikes, and muggings.
- peterwwillis 10y agoClearly you haven't walked around SF very much... I've only been twice and I see it everywhere. The Tenderloin is probably the most concentrated.
- Kinnard 10y agoI'm actually quite a walker and there are only a few neighborhoods that seem bad, the Tenderloin is one of them. Maybe it's cuz I'm from Detroit.
- Kalium 10y agoReally? Reading that description, I know it's the Fillmore.
- bduerst 10y agoYep. I lived a couple months in Tenderloin (little Saigon, to be specific) and the stories I could tell you. It wasn't uncommon to see people lighting up crack pipes in broad daylight, but I never did see anyone shooting H out in the open. There was a closed building across the street, and most days a fence would sell stuff on a blanket in front it, with stuff they stole out of cars - or at least I assumed that's where he got them, because it was always CDs, travel mugs, umbrellas, jackets, etc. They're even on Google street view: https://www.google.com/maps/@37.7835518,-122.4176013,3a,15.7y,16.32h,83.93t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sE_bWbntaMbZYEtL0-HvxyA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 https://www.google.com/maps/@37.7835518,-122.4176013,3a,15.7... I never had a problem with crime, probably because I'm a big guy and I never walked around after dark, but I knew people who were mugged nearby. I was paying $1350/mo for a (nice) room with a private bathroom.
