The large downtown San Francisco train station had its elevator closed, due to being used as a urinal by all the homeless sitting on the walkway floors, two years back.

I had no fear of them, but it’s a disgusting way to remember one’s first time in a city.

Do you mean the Powell Street BART station?

This station has a long corridor, from the fare gates near the underground entrance to the Westfield shopping mall and past that on out to the exit at Fourth Street. It's an enclosed corridor and a couple of years ago (I haven't been there lately) you could count on seeing several homeless people along the way, just lying there. You had to be careful not to trip on them. I understand the need to get out of the elements, but honestly, these people needed to be in a proper shelter.

I remember when SF was more fun to shop in, not some sort of obstacle course where you needed to avoid the bums.

Yes, the one right next to the Moscone West Center.

Was just there last year. It’s exactly the same, but with more homeless.

I remember when SF was fun too.

We moved out of San Jose and California about 1 1/2 years ago.

My daughter won tickets to see Hamilton for $10 each, so we went up to the city.

Homeless all over the place and I could see them shooting up.

I was so ready to move out of the Bay Area. I do not miss living there!
