[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh great, a friend and I are going next week for 5 days (just two women.) I really hope this is exagerrated.

I do know two older (early 60s) family members who just went in April and their only comment was that there were a lot of homeless people.... which SF is well known for. These are Fox News watching 60 year olds, so I hope that's an accurate representation of what they saw. They stayed in Union Square, which is also where we are staying. [/quote]

Tons of homeless people in union square. I was targeted by homeless youth the last time I was there, and I was nearly mugged. A local saw then casing me, approached me and scared them off. I had noticed them as well and sensed something was off, so I was grateful to the local who stepped in. He said it happens a lot.[/quote]

Where are you from? Have you ever interacted with any homeless people before? I'm the person going with a friend next week, and I have lived in Baltimore and my friend lives in DC. We both have had "encounters" with homeless before... so this is not unfamiliar for us. Just curious if this was something you'd never dealt with before, which is why it sticks out so much to you, or if it truly was a unique situation. [/quote]

Obviously you have not seen or experienced California homelessness.[/quote]

No I have not, hence the questions? Seems obvious to me. I have been to southern California (LA and San Diego) and never noticed any homeless/any difference from what you see everywhere. [/quote]

There is a huge difference between SoCal homeless and San Fran homeless.[/quote]
