I quite liked living in the Tenderloin. It's close to transit, it's cheap, and it's got great restaurants. I wouldn't live there if I had a cohabitating partner or kids, though.

You sure that's really the Tenderloin or along the edges which is more like Nob Hill?
I lived on Turk between Hyde and Leavenworth. It has all the bad things. The advantages are, to my reckoning, overwhelming.
Yeah, you forgot to mention all the transient and shit on the streets
During my year and a half there I had to wash poop off my shoe once. It took me a few minutes. My rent was several hundred dollars per month cheaper than any other place I lived in the Bay area. I'll wash anything off anything for a thousand dollars a minute.
