I live here, it's fine. There are pockets in the Tenderloin and around that are filled with real misery, but I've never felt unsafe. It's just sad to see. There's police everywhere and the homeless may do drugs but I've never seen anything violent. The fact of the matter is this is a city of a million people, every American city of this size has bad areas, the difference is in SF these sections aren't pushed somewhere away from the downtown where it can be ignored. Everyone can point to someone that has a story of being mugged, but this isn't specific to SF (think Chicago, New York, DC) Our mayor endorsed Michael Bloomberg for President, while there are many Lefties in the city (and city council), the fact of the matter is the city is run by big money. They would rather remove the homeless from peoples field of vision than solve the social problems in the city. And with an ongoing attempt to recall the Progressive Prosecutor I would expect to see even more news stories like this.
