I have spent 2 months in SF over my life and have never felt unsafe while walking anywhere. My last trip there I walked probably 10 miles/day on average, including through some worse neighborhoods, and 1) the walks are way nicer than anywhere I’ve ever lived before 2) never felt unsafe.

Did see a few guys smoking crack lol but you see those type of people in every city if you walk around enough.

I currently live near downtown Los Angeles and it’s 100% worse than SF, but still tolerable. SF is just so beautiful, it’s hard not to have a good time there. Not so true for LA lol.

Most walkable city in America. Stunning natural beauty, arguably the best of any major American city. Million things to do. Elite food. Best job market in America, if not the world.

The third of Americans that honestly believe none of this is true make my hotels there cheaper, thankfully.

I’ve spent probably two months of my life there now, even in the cheapest areas like the Tenderloin, and have never seen anything I haven’t already seen growing up in my conservative hometown. Obviously SF has some huge problems but so do most of the US, and other areas don’t have the upsides.
