San Francisco Compared to Some of the Dirtiest Slums in the World

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Tell me again what is so great about this shit hole. I hate having to go San Francisco for work. There are bums everywhere and the city smells like garbage. It's like NYC in the 80s before Giulliani cleaned it up

There are plenty of issues with San Francisco - but surveying only the streets of the Tenderloin isn't exactly an accurate sample of the city as a whole.

Does the sewer system not work in San Francisco? What's up with the poop?

Ah, San Francisco...that shinning liberal cesspool on the hill.

Lefty lunatics in charge of the asylum and now the streets have to be sterilized against the filth left behind by jackasses who could care less about the city.

Those "slums" have the highest percent of democratic voters

There are no neighborhoods in San Francisco that don't have a high percentage of democratic voters.

What would Karl Malden and Michael Douglas do?

The neighborhood used in the article in the OP is the worst neighborhood in San Francisco - it's SF's skid row, full of junkies living in boarding houses. The article is correct, that neighborhood is disgusting.

But if you walk three blocks north from the streets "surveyed" in the article, you're in a neighborhood where a 1-bedroom condo will cost you close to a million dollars. There's no shit on the street there. Same if you walk 3 blocks west, or 3 blocks east.

I've read more than once where NY city cleaned up some areas..it is better than it used to be in the 70s/etc
is San Fran really worse?? different than other cities with same or more population?

Downtown is full of bums where I live. There's this one tunnel under a bridge that's the "dumping zone". The nearby fountain is full of bleach, so they use that to wash up, at least. One could go through that tunnel, but I opt to go up and cross the street.

our downtown isn't ''full'' of crime, but it's not one of the safest
the crime is higher than some suburbs.....
does the population size matter?
