I live in San Jose. I used to love going to SF with my kids - Cal Academy of Sciences, Fisherman’s Wharf, Botanic Garden, etc.

I don’t go there anymore - too many drug addicts using drugs openly on the streets, people assaulted by mentally ill people.

Also, I will never/ever drive there in my car unless my destination has a gated/closed parking. Otherwise the car’s windows will be smashed.

Another anecdotal point: my sister just escaped a war in Ukraine. She is too afraid to go visit SF because it seems way too unsafe.
