Yep. 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:

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.
