Every word of this is worth reading. Today, I had to physically *step over* a crowd of 8-10 people rolling & smoking joints to get on BART at Powell St. Yesterday, a tiny woman sat next to me & was SCREAMED at by a huge man through 2 stops, until she fled.https://www.city-journal.org/html/san-francisco-hostage-homeless-16980.html …

If anyone in my family knew what I saw moving through the city during the day, they'd beg me to leave. If they knew why I stopped walking *anywhere* at night, they'd plead.

SF crime stats are a joke. Everyone already knows not to bother calling. At some point, I'm going to have to start driving everywhere and eating the $30 parking just to practice what I preach about staying safe as a lone woman.

I took this photo on my way home in Oakland about a week ago. Does this look like the wealthiest metro area in the US to you? Would you want to walk your kiddos along this street?pic.twitter.com/qyFLjDCqH1

Curious. Would anything make you call it quits & leave? Or are you committed to SF forever?

I can't get into it now, but yes. I've recently discovered that someone may actively want to harm me, for reasons well beyond the rational, and it's unclear whether any local institutional protections are anything but toothless. So yes. It's something I have to think about.
