Not weird - though its really just the same as downtown SF: 2-5 days a week you will have some combination of a screaming and manic individual immediately in your walking path, see someone injecting themselves immediately in your vicinity, and nearly (or actually) step in dog/human poop. It by no means is the end of the world but over time it wears you down and desensitizes you to the point of completely ignoring all homeless activity always.

After being here for ~2 years I would not recommend the TL because the cost savings and walking commute to downtown are not enough given alternative choices.

If you need to save money you need to move further away to realize real savings, there are too many hidden fees living in the city.

If you have money you'll want to either live in 0-commute distance i.e. near the embarcadero or in literal downtown, or live in the Marina / Presidio / Anywhere else and have a 15 minute drive in.
