- upon_drumhead 3y agoGP gave a anecdote, which while it is valuable, it is not evidence and data.

- aworks 3y agoI've lived in Palo Alto and Menlo Park since 1987 and I go to San Francisco a couple times a month. I had my bike stolen at a Caltrain station. Someone yelled at me once South of Market. I've seen drug usage in UN Plaza. I've walked through the Tenderloin sometimes which has been unpleasant but uneventful. BART can be scruffy. Maybe I've been lucky. I could list fifty highly positive experiences but the current narrative seems to focus on being negative. I like the quote from Paul Kantner (of Jefferson Airplane): "San Francisco is 49 square miles surrounded by reality."
- femiagbabiaka 3y agoNot sure what to say? I’ve visited and lived in cities around California, and lived in SF itself for two years, in the Panhandle. It was one of the safest and most beautiful places I’ve ever lived in. My wife would regularly go for walks and runs on her own. I know “I lived and visited these places and nothing happened” is less bombastic than the opposite, but it doesn’t make it less true.
