- kylestlb 4y agoI'd wager this is the case for most American cities if you are coming here from Seoul
- pb7 4y agoYou're probably right. Similarly, the tolerated racism in South Korea would also be terrifying to people here.
- dmode 4y ago100% agree with you. Asian cities feel much much safer. But there is a lot more context and history behind why it is.
- gcheong 4y agoInterestingly, during my one bar night out in Seoul on an overnight visit to change visas for Japan, some dude started a fight with someone and tried to grab a knife sitting on a table while being escorted out. The people around me didn't seem particularly horrified by that spectacle though. I lived in Tokyo for 6 years, SF feels fine coming from there.

- emodendroket 4y agoAmerican cities are more violent, yes. But it doesn't make a lot of sense to pin that on San Francisco politicians, which usually seems to be the endgame with these warnings about how dangerous it is.
