San Francisco is awful. Recently a homeless person mindlessly threw their bucket of shit onto the hood of my Uber. This was in SoMa so not even Tenderloin where you might expect something like that.
A week after I take a bus around 2pm. In the mission a guy just jumped on a girl and pulled on her phone for like 10s until she released it. Then got out of the bus and ran away. Frightening stuff.
That and the weird homeless jumping at you randomly in the street to give you a scare. I don’t understand why any tourists would come here. It’s really unsafe, especially if you have children.
PS: I also feel so bad for these homes with homeless people sleeping on their porches... or all these shops, restaurants, bars and cafes that end up being swarmed and surrounded by the crazies. Life suck for a lot of the people here. I’m happy I can afford to cab everywhere and avoid the craziness most of the time.
