That’s a bizarre statement. SF has ugly areas but still feels very safe. Would feel much more comfortable being dropped off in the worst places there vs Chicago, St Louis, LA, Miami, New Orleans, Atlanta and a bunch of other places

I live in New Orleans and I have to say I feel safer there than San Francisco
Downtown San Francisco can be unpleasant but you are more than 10x as likely to be killed in Orleans Parish (51.7 deaths by assault per 100k) than San Francisco County (4.9).
How about Oakland at 2AM?
Yes, Oakland is also on the list of the many cities that are more dangerous than SF
