As someone with two school aged kids in SF, I can say with some confidence that you are overstating this. I live south of 280, and I've gone to a ton of playgrounds around glen park, sunny side, mission terrace, and the sunset. Yes, there is a homeless presence in and near playgrounds, and some areas get pretty bad. But the hyperbole gets ridiculous. Seriously, you'd think you're dodging human shit and needles every third step in every corner of SF. I have spent a great deal of time in SF playgrounds over the last decade (in the aforementioned neighborhoods), and the playgrounds are very safe for children, and don't have shit and needles everyone.
