That aside, SF is a world city with an enormous amount of interesting and fun things to do. And if you get bored with that, it’s a short trip to see giant redwoods or hike through forests or climb mountains. There is a lot to see and do.
I haven't seen any feces in public in SF for at couple of years now. Yes, it was a problem, but it doesn't seem to be anymore.
Care to meet me for coffee at sightglass on seventh some time? we'll find feces smears within one block or coffee's on me.
We're talking about downtown SF, that's it. Part of Civic Center was converted into a skate park to drive the homeless out because what used to be kept local-ish to the TL had spread throughout downtown.
On any given night you'll now find an open air market of stolen goods at the corner of Seventh and Market, across from Civic Center. Is that in the TL? The situation is more fluid than in the past, and these people are indeed still sleeping and shitting on the sidewalks.
