I just came back from there 2 weeks ago here in the UK. Knew where to avoid, but had an amazing time, did everything we wanted to do, such a beautiful city. We stayed in Nob Hill. We didn't feel un safe at all. Media have well overhyped the bad things. Most cities have its problems. Highly recommend visiting
So happy to hear you had a great time and didn't have any trouble! I was in London in late June toward the end of the heatwave, spent some time in the Cotswolds too. Was incredible! Thanks for watching :)
I agree. lovely city
(1) Do not move to the Civic Center/North SOMA is horrible (Mission Street between 11th - 4th street STAY AWAY FROM 6th STREET) - danger/drugs, needles on the ground, human fecal matter, folks doing mental heal mess on the street.. (2) Do not move to Tenderloin District, a lot of shooting, drug dealing, dangerous, lots of SRO's low class people live there, it is dirty as heck (3) Do not move to anywhere where the people living in Tents right on the sidewalks in front of your home/apartment. (4) Bayview is so isolated for sure. It is like a Mason Dixon Line and the segregation (SFRA segregated the area) and then yuppies moved in and gentrified parts of the area plus it has lots of post governmental toxic chemicals in the ground and high Cancer Rates from the post government dumping chemicals int he group. (5) No China Town.. run down and dirty and pretty segregated on so many levels. I walk the city daily and there are so many other great neighborhoods that are safer (not 100%, but better for your emotional health and if you can afford the rent: ie. Pacific Heights, Marina, Sea Cliff, Presidio Heights, Lower Pacific Heights, NOPA, Lone Mountain, Sunset, Richmond, Laural Village, Ashbury Heights, Corona Heights, Cole Valley, Eureka Valley, Noe Valley, Dolores Heights... parts of NOPA, and certain parts of Alamo Square... (lots of smashed car windows now a days) to name a few
Thanks for watching! Agree there are so many great places to live here
4 out of the 5 I agree is not a place I'd live in. But the Mission is an awesome neighborhood. There are pockets of it that are questionable but it has gentrified so much that it's basically a hipster enclave now. If the point is that the neighborhood has gotten too pretentious, busy, and housing too expensive for what you pay; I understand. But it hasn't been too dangerous for while now for most of the neighborhood.
The mission is a really big neighborhood and there are definitely parts that are lovely. But I think a lot of it is still kinda grimy based on what I see week to week when I’m in the area. Personally not for me, but it’s one of my favorites for food no doubt. Appreciate the comment and you watching!
Very informative. Which areas (aside from business interests) would you recommend for a quick renting stink like 3 months?
Thanks for watching. I’d say the Marina would be a great short term area, really walkable, lots of restaurants and shopping, and great park spaces within walking distance regardless of what area you are. Pac Heights is also great-very safe (as is Marina) and there are two pretty sizable parks and good food/shops. Not quite as walkable because there are hills, but still very walkable with everything you’d need short distance. Both areas close to the Golden Gate Bridge so easy to get to Marin, napa, Sonoma. What types of things do you do in your free time?
Dude...mission dist. and Hunter's point aren't that bad at all. I like the areas. Tenderloin and Market are sketchy. Chinatown is tough cuz it's crowded and hard to find someone that speaks comprehensible English.
There are sketchy and non-sketchy parts. By no means do I think those are close to Tenderloin level. Still love the Mission and go there often. Thanks for watching!
Silver Terrace, Bay View west of Third street, Portola, Little Hollywood, most of Visitation Valley are OK. The weather is great.
Excellent advisory. How I miss the City!
Appreciate it 🙏🏻🙏🏻
A couple exceptions in the Mission: 00 block of Hill Street, Liberty Street, Fair Oaks, just so long as you have a garage to park your car. Great Chinatown alternatives are Clement and Noriega Streets although the food is a bit dummied down.
Good suggestions! I also like Valencia Corridor
My dad’s family is from Bayview and it’s was ok when I resided there years ago. It’s all in who you know that’s all. It’s a pretty decent area if you’re looking for affordable housing.❤
Happy to hear you had a great experience when you were there! It’s definitely not all bad
Well, if you had to pick 7, these would be it. I’m on the fence about Chinatown tbh.
Live on Snob Hill instead of Chinatown? That's like saying live in Specific Whites instead of the Tenderloin. Didn't mention Bayview, Dogpatch, Potrero Hill, Excelsior, or Vistation Valley
I did mention bayview.
What are your thoughts on the Silver Terrace neighborhood?
Similar to Bayview/Hunters Point. Technically it is within the overall Bayview neighborhood but slightly more removed from that southeast corner. There are great things about it, playgrounds, things to do on third, but by and large not a place I necessarily recommend. I consider it all within that Bayview area.
Thank you@@austinklar
Couldn't agree more! SF is one of the most amazing places! Don't listen to the click bait negative news. But agree there are a few bad spots like the infamous Tenderloin. Steer clear of those places and the rest of the city is amazing! Great insights on how Chinatown and the Mission are great to visit, but not the best to live.
Thanks Jessica! Agree on all fronts :) I love living here and most of the city is still amazing, safe, beautiful.
Click bait??? The place is a disaster. Robberies and drug addicts and human feces everywhere. Half of the downtown businesses are abandoned, more every day. Street takeovers, can't even park a car on the street, it's a nightmare. You must be in a rich area where you have security and don't have to live with the "peasants." You think it's ok that only half of the city is a hell hole? The fact that you said it's only "reviews" saying it's bad, means you don't go outside.
@@bassage13 most of this city is nothing like you describe. Vast majority has nothing to do with any of what you see online. Sorry your experience hasn’t been great-assuming you live here, maybe you should consider an alternative if it’s as bad as you claim.
@@bassage13 I'm sorry your experience of believing what you see on the internet has left you so deluded.
@@austinklaru aint gonna be loving to live in San Francisco anymore when their is a major earthquake 😄
Agree 100%
Thanks for watching! There are still so many great things about these areas, but its tough to see where they've gone. I hope we can continue improving, and get them to the level of so many other areas in the city that remain beautiful, safe, fun places to live.
Valencia corridor and westward towards Dolores Park / Castro is pretty nice (although that's often called "Mission Dolores" instead of "Mission" proper). Lived there for 6 years, had a homeless guy sleeping on my porch once or twice but he was nice and I helped him get services. Other than that it's a lovely neighborhood and never had any problems, car was parked outside daily and zero breakins.
Valencia Corridor is gorgeous, and one of the areas of the Mission I would actually consider living. Have a good friend that lives there and visit all the time. She never has any issues and neither have I.
I'm going to a concert at the Fillmore. Is that a bad neighborhood?
not the cleanest of areas, but no reason to feel unsafe just going to a concert there. Hope you have a good time!
Yeah. You’re definitely right about the Mission District. But I still think it’s one of the best neighborhoods in SF.
Love going there. Some of the best food in town!
The fact he includes BRUNO'S in one shot is exemplary of this. Great place!
SF is not okay right now neither is Oakland .it needs to clean the house
Only certain areas have problems
BRUNO'S!!!!
Tender Loins
For sure
People creating and commenting this kind of content is weak. Wailng people sucks!!
Regardless of what the media says, "I'm going back to Frisco". I said "Frisco" because I personally like to use that old term.
Honestly one of the best cities in the world
Demography is destiny. Most of this is about race, but we are forbidden to say that. "Liberal open-minded tolerant and loving" is just a cover for the suppression and punishment of departing from the PC line.
No this is about areas that aren’t great to live in because they’re dirty and not safe.
@@austinklar AAAAAAnd how does that correlate with the racial demographics? Who makes them dirty and unsafe? Leprechauns?
Propaganda from a "CASTRO QUEEN"🎉🎉
Thanks for watching!
u mean avoid San Francisco at all cost that what this should be called
Thanks for watching!
