1. have seen people get their laptops snatched in coffee shops, right in front of them
2. friend mugged at gunpoint at emeryville bart station, and pistol whipped on the head even after giving up his belongings
3. had someone break into an apartment in our apartment complex
4. had a drunk guy follow me & my wife, while waving a bottle in his hand. I honestly thought a confrontation was going to be unavoidable, but luckily we got home before he caught up with us
5. a friend had her old, beat-up car broken into so often, she stopped getting the window replaced
San Francisco loves to impose regulations and collect taxes. Meanwhile tax payers and lawful citizens have to not only deal with filthy streets and mentally unstable individuals, but are also shamed for pointing out the existence of any of these problems.
the only thing keeping me sane is that I’m moving out of this shithole of a city in a month.
