I worked in FiDi, I worked in SOMA, and I worked in the Western Addition for many years. I saw a lot of shit (literally), addicts shooting up on the Civic Center station steps, my coworker got punched in the arm by a homeless person on the way home. I've walked through the Tenderloin at night numerous times (some of the best food in the city). Yeah, there's some nasty stuff going on. But the comments here make it seem like SF is a lawless hellhole, a failed city. This is just not true. I never felt too unsafe, and I explored the city on foot by night constantly. Of course everyone takes a chance walking around at night in a US city. I love SF and I intend to visit again someday soon.
- telotortium 4y agoI'm guessing you're not a (biological) woman?
- Min0taur 4y agoNice qualifier about 'biological' there, was totally necessary to make your point, really. Because, you know, if you're a trans woman you totally won't get harassed in the Tenderloin. So insightful, you must have a deep understanding of both presenting as a woman and living near the Tenderloin.
- edifilol 4y agoThose burly fellows can look after themselves. We're talking about real women here, not blokes in drag.
- telotortium 4y agoI think you might get harassed as a trans woman in the Tenderloin, but the reasons would be different from the reasons you would get harassed as a cis woman.
- Gigachad 4y agoYour tolerance for danger must be very high. If I saw any of that stuff you described, I'd be considering getting out.
