You’re somewhat right, I didn’t wander into unfamiliar areas by myself at night, but I don’t do that at home either. I spent a good deal of time out past sundown, just not meandering out of curiosity.

I tried to make it clear that I specifically did walk around/through the tenderloin.

And yes, there was one street—in the week we spent there commuting, going out, visiting w/ friends—that I noted I’d avoid in future.

I didn’t mean to assert that crime in SF is a small set of isolated incidents. My hope was to share my own positive experience but avoid sounding dismissive of the real pains experienced by individuals.
