They’re not. Even though I really enjoyed living in the Bay Area, I’m not blind to how dystopian it can feel. Just hang in the Tenderloin. Or if you really want something eye-opening, shoot on over to Oakland. The area is still great, but it’s a poor value when you consider it has the mkst expensive CoL in the country. I’d love to see the area get itself a little more together.
Edit: though the other commenter is right. Castro street has nothing to do with the TL
castro isnt the tenderloin. its often more upper middle class lgbtq+ people. TL is still pretty trashy though, especially right after lifting pandemic restriction a WF(now defunct) was there.
They clearly haven’t walked around Castro street after dark
What do you mean?
Used to live in SF. Love walking in cities. Didn’t love the urine & feces & junkies of the Tenderloin
Castro Street doesn’t cut into the TL. And the Castro is nice.
Wasn’t 15 years ago when I was there
But fair enough
You’re so full of shit
