I always find myself explaining to new arrivals that the Tenderloin is not the dangerous, violent area despite (non violent) crime rates, it's absolutely the Mission. Widespread misconception for some reason, and now we have a map to point at. I know multiple people in the Mission who were mugged or who live in apartments above where shootings took place. Speaking as a former resident of the Mission and victim of a violent crime myself (in the Mission), it always amuses me when people who are, uh, sheltered to say the least, who want a nice upper middle class bubble, speak longingly about moving to the Mission, somehow ignorant that it's the one neighborhood on their list of acceptable neighborhoods where they are most likely to get mugged or shot.
