Question for people who actually live in SF now and have lived there for a long period of time:
Is it as bad as I see online? 10-15 years ago I would have loved to live in SF, work for a startup etc. and all I heard were good things about the city. There was a homelessness problem but I didn't hear much more than that.
Now it sounds like a hell hole. Crime seems to be the main issue and I'm not sure I'd feel comfortable visiting as a tourist never mind living there.
Is my perspective skewed by the sources I'm reading or have things really deteriorated to that extent?
