Skid row in LA? Parts of Chicago, Baltimore, Detroit, Oakland, Philadelphia, etc etc etc?

Yeah, I think how "sketch" the mid-atlantic cities are is mostly overrated by people afraid of black people. The mentally ill on the street are much more concerning safety-wise for me.

Skid row LA is unreal. I did not think that level of poverty existed in the first world.

But it's pretty easy to avoid. SF seems to have more open air suffering spread throughout.
