> Per my own experience SF is not a bad place to live.
I have the opposite view. In SF, your risk of the following occurring is non-negligible and in some cases, shockingly quite likely:
- Being mugged/robbed
- Having your car broken into
- Being harangued or even assaulted by someone who is mentally ill and/or under the influence
- Witnessing public urination, defecation, drug use and grab and go retail theft
- Stepping in human feces
I don't see how a place where these things occur on a regular basis, and where, in most cases, such crimes are not investigated and prosecuted, could ever be considered "not a bad place to live".
