I lived at the 7th and 8th / Mission block before OP did and it was pretty bad then. What's weird is that there's been a lot of development and modernization in that area (completion of Trinity Place and a nice Whole Foods) yet in 2023 it's still extremely unsafe around there. And the Whole Foods is now leaving.

I think it's a lot better than it used to be. From 2001-2005 I walked from work at 2nd St to home at Guerrero and there were only a few blocks on that walk when I wasn't braced for action. With all the new buildings and the BRT on Van Ness and other changes it seems way better now.
