International gamers in SF for convention 'shell shocked' by 'dangerous city'

• api 9y ago
  SF's street environment is unlike any other city I've ever visited. It's like a quantum superposition of dangerous ghetto and unattainably expensive luxury enclave.

    > dangerous ghetto It's not actually dangerous to random people. Berkeley is far more dangerous in terms of being assaulted randomly than San Francisco.

      It’s dangerous (moreso than ten years ago, too!) to people who are more readily endangered than the SOMA-standard white male software engineer, specifically but not limited to non-whites, women, and children.

  It'd be neat if they hosted it in Houston. Central location, cheap lodging, huge venues, great food.
