[quote=Anonymous]SF has attracted youth counterculture for decades. I lived there in the 90s--one block north of the Tenderloin on Post Street and close to Polk Street which was known for its hustlers and prostitutes. More run-of-the-mill homeless types lived and worked the Tenderloin and Union Square areas, but the crusty-types primarily inhabited The Haight and SOMA, panhandling and doing drugs. There were a lot of encampments in Golden Gate Park. It's been about five years since I've visited, but I really have little desire to spend any time there. I have far less tolerance seeing the city through my 40-something lens. I've lived in and traveled through many cities and have always thought SF had some of the most aggressive panhandlers by comparison. Even as a brazen 20yo, I had to always be on edge. It makes me a little sad to hear that things have gotten even worse. It's a lovely city. [/quote]
