I was born and raised in San Francisco (3rd generation) and now live in the East Bay city of Danville.

About San Francisco, I was there last weekend and had a great time (dinners at Schroeders and Big Four). The streets seemed cleaner than LA, the bums less aggressive.

Imahomer said:But we are around. I often run into people who were raised in the city. It's very cool to talk to them and exchange information/stories.
"Cleaner and less aggressive?! What part of LA are you from? Its pretty bad in San Franfreako."
Come on.... L.A. is just like the city.... good and bad areas. The bums in the city are basically downtown, which is why they are always seen by the tourists.
Doran said:fftopic: I have certainly never seen bums be more aggressive in normal areas of LA (i.e. not Skid Row) than in normal areas of SF and Berkeley. In fact, the bums in SF and Berkeley are the most aggressive I've seen in the USA (again, aside from places like Skid Row in LA). There is a reason why restaurants in the Bay Area do not boast outdoor seating out on the sidewalk like Europe has. It's because bums would come up to the patrons WHILE THE PATRONS WERE EATING and bother them, ask for money, try to sell them their horrid poetry newspapers, etc. They have no shame around here.
