Isn't their main office/HQ in a really dangerous part of town crime wise?

No, it's one of the safest, cleanest parts of the city.

  Ahh am mistaken then, maybe it was Twitter HQ (maybe not even them?), I read an article where people were literally scared to go to work or leave after dark but I could not remember which company it was. It was about 2 years ago

      Ahhh, Fool me once! I was a little surprised there are nice/safe parts of SF but I only travel for work there, at most a week or two at a time. So thought maybe I just hadn't been to the nice part of town. EDIT: damn I didnt think it was this bad 938 crimes per square mile in SF [1] [1] https://www.neighborhoodscout.com/ca/san-francisco/crime https://www.neighborhoodscout.com/ca/san-francisco/crime

    Maybe you're thinking of Amazon's former Blueshift office in the old Macy's building in downtown Seattle.[1] This building is located across the street from a McDonald's that has long been a nexus for anti-social activity in the area.

    Yeah, Twitter is on a fairly rough stretch of Market Street.

  Ha! I've been to SF once in the last 5 years. Right in front of the salesforce tower a homeless person lunged at me with a broken bottle. It was a half hearted lunge but still, not exactly the sort of thing I run into regularly!

    From what I've seen of San Francisco, it's still possible that counts as the safest, cleanest part of the city. (I had similar experiences the two times Salesforce mandated that I be schlepped out there from the other side of the country)
