Way more crazy people in LA imo.

SF is a pretty nice place, but you have to avoid tenderloin and soma.

Yeah, I mean there’s definitely crazy people in LA but they’re not all crazy homeless mentally ill vagrant criminals on the streets late at night sometimes the crazy people are the people you meet in a bar: the crazy Asian girl who you happen to a few seats from, who is drunk, starts slurring at you then when you ignore her slaps you out of nowhere, and has to be taken away by her friends. The bartender apologizes… but that would be assault If a guy did it…girls get away with that shit, with a shrug: “she’s drunk” as if it makes it okay, when it doesn’t. Not a good lesson for people. Or the crazy white who starts chatting to you while you’re playing pool, who’s trying to pretend he knows you but has no clue and starts rambling saying he’s spreading rumors to ruin peoples reputations in China, in Thailand, in Australia.

But even with such nutcases, who you can safely ignore, because they’re just out of their heads clearly, I really like LA.

I find the street people in LA are not as dirty or aggressive as the worst street people in San Francisco. It’s like a Street people in LA still see you is kind of kin. But the street people in San Francisco: you guys are on two sides of divide like you’re from different worlds.

I remember Street people from both cities but I can’t remember like the specific places. I just recall that during the day, San Francisco is a lot worse than LA. More street people more aggressive, more dirty.

This was pre-pandemic, though, so maybe things have changed a lot. Hopefully for the better in all aspects!
