Public transport isn’t world class, but it’s functional and better than most US cities. Public safety also isn’t really an issue for anyone that doesn’t identify as an unattended backpack in the backseat of a locked car with out of state plates.
Don't travel to San Francisco, your car will be vandalized and robbed, got it.
I mean, why is that the standard? Nowhere I go do I ever have to worry about something like that.
What you are seeing are the effects of ignoring widespread calls for reform and the doubling down on funding of a broken institution.
If you are driving in a snowy area, go slow. Bring warm clothes in case your car gets stuck.
Sometimes you have to modify your behavior based on your environment.
My conclusion was that SF does not care about law abiding, rent paying citizens, while at the same time the people there have something like Stockholm syndrome and will never admit they have a huge problem.
Either way I don't care, I will never go near it again.
You have got to be shitting me. SF crime is third world level, obvious to anyone within first 30m of visit. My two previous employers instituted buddy system bc female employees got jumped on the street repeatedly. Stores are closing bc of high crime, etc. i mean ffs
