I lived in a rented room on Minna street and 7th in SoMa for a year back in 2015. I drove by yesterday out of curiosity and the area has gotten much worse. Dozens of homeless, addicts and dealers have completely taken over the sidewalks and street into a skid row type scene. Obviously selling and using hard drugs. No police presence of course. No idea how any sane person could live there. The housing is starting to look like honduras with the cage bars and barbed wires, except it’s $3500/month for a 2bd apartment on the block. I drove away scared and sad. A terrible trajectory for the city, and perhaps for the whole country if we can’t significantly shift the culture and policies around addiction, housing, wealth inequality and societal values generally.
