Some parts of SoMa, this is true, like 4th Street+.
The area where this man died is known as Rincon Hill and is dominated by tech offices, Sweetgreens, and luxury highrise apartment buildings and is basically dead after 8pm every day of the week. I lived a block away from where this man was stabbed for a month and it felt safe and dead quiet once all the tech workers go home.
- genocidicbunny 4y agoThe fact that its dead in the evenings is part of the problem. Places like that tend to attract a kind of a crowd later in the evenings precisely because it is nice and quiet otherwise. A friend used to live in that area shortly before Covid and the quiet was too quiet -- sometimes it felt like those scenes from westerns where the whole town shutters up when the big bad gunslingers are having a showdown.
