My son and DIL used to live near Pac Heights (I think that’s what they called it.)
One time the city charged them to clean up the mess. They moved soon after.
My son has a PhD in AI and and moved to San Fran. Soon he was disgusted.
He lasted about 3 months then moved to Mountain View. He’s not sure if he likes MV either
There is an “upper” Pac Heights and a “lower” Pac Heights - one is the uber wealthy area, forgot which one.
My daughter lived in the cheaper “Pac” area right out of college - her job was nearby and the rent almost killed her.
The park across the street from her had been recently cleaned up - I’m guessing b/c wealthy people were moving into the area, the homeless were moved on - and cleared out of the financial district as well, my SIL told me Asians from Asia were refusing to do business in the are b/c it had become so horrible and dangerous.
The homeless haven’t left, they’ve been moved - Mission and Tenderloin district and around the Civic Center. Absolutely wretched, entire area smells like urine (NOT KIDDING).
