SF anywhere near Market or Mission is a 3rd world country. I just moved to Seattle. The QoL difference is striking.

- pb7 6y agoYeah, it sucks. From my few visits to Seattle, it seemed similar in parts but I haven't spent enough time there to make a confident assertion.
- fourmyle 6y agoIt might just be the current situation but I have seen maybe 4 homeless in 3 weeks in my day to day and I take a lot of walks. Could just be looking in the wrong spots but there were literally 20 tents on my block near Bart in the Mission so its an upgrade.
- pb7 6y agoFound this: https://www.seattle.gov/homelessness/unauthorized-encampments/emphasis-map https://www.seattle.gov/homelessness/unauthorized-encampment... I do recall some Seattlites mentioning one specific area that is particularly bad by name but don't recall that name.
- fourmyle 6y agoI think I heard Pioneer Square is bad, just walked there the other day and it's not anything like SFs bad areas. There could just be better options for homeless during the shutdown here than SF though. I will reserve full judgement until things are back open. People are going to be surprised by the state of the FiDi in SF when things open back up. Many tents have gone up there with everyone gone and WFH. Going to be interesting when people go back to the office there.
- dehrmann 6y agoThis varies block-to-block. It's fine by Embarcadero, OK around Powell, sketchy as fuck at 6th.
- fourmyle 6y agoDefinitely true, also the anything near 16th Street Mission Bart is out of control. There are definitely nice parts of SF, usually on a hill, but the bad parts are BAD.
