A close friend lives in a nice neighborhood in Fremont. House on the corner has been taken over by some Latin gang and they are running drugs out of the house. Real shame.

I spent a lot of time in SF years ago, Financial, Mission, and Castro districts. 10 years ago, was back and there was a def uptick in homeless, but no more than most major cities. 4 years ago, I went back and was shocked. Homeless/Junkies/Crazies/Criminals were abundant, leading to a measurement of BPB - bums per block. I came out of the Hilton in the morning, which was largely unmolested when I turned in about 2100. When I came out at 0600, it was a homeless encampment as far as the eye could see, other than the drive through at the hotel.

I cannot imagine what SF looks like now. A real shame, I've probably spent 6 months of my life in and around SF. Zero interest in returning.
