[quote=Anonymous]I live on the peninsula now (moved from DC almost a decade ago) and don’t know if I don’t like the city because I don’t know it, or don’t know it because I don’t like it. We have a membership at the exploratorium and I love that and a friend and I go to a few musicals each year but otherwise I generally don’t go in. When I do the homeless problem and the parking challenges and the car break ins all get me a bit stressed. The last few times I went to the city was for my older DD’s soccer games. Some are in Golden Gate Park which is beautiful. I think of what I did on a visit 20 years ago and realize neither of my kids has ever been to the Presidio or the De Young museum and the younger one has never been to pier 39. We do other things in the area (just hiked out at Ano Nuevo to see the elephant seals) generally.

I periodically Bart to work in Oakland (generally I work at home). A month ago as we came through San Francisco a man across from me was injecting himself (drugs? Insulin? Who knows but I assume the former). At first I just ignored it, but decided to move to a different car. I haven’t typically had that experience. Even in the subburbs though we’ve found used needles before and one day a homeless woman was asleep on the sidewalk with her dress pulled up and her naked butt exposed. I was appalled that some people were laughing, pointing, and even taking pictures but I was worried the woman would be harassed by the police if I called them so I didn’t really know what to do.
