San Francisco sounds nice, except for the “dangerous mix of drug needles, garbage, and feces across a 153-block stretch of downtown”:

Oh, and it gets worse:
As the Investigative Unit photographed nearly a dozen hypodermic needles scattered across one block, a group of preschool students happened to walk by on their way to an afternoon field trip to citiy hall.
“We see poop, we see pee, we see needles, and we see trash,” said teacher Adelita Orellana. “Sometimes they ask what is it, and that’s a conversation that’s a little difficult to have with a 2-year old, but we just let them know that those things are full of germs, that they are dangerous, and they should never be touched.”

And yet I keep hearing about how gentrification is making SF unlivable. Sounds like they could use some more gentrification. 153 blocks is a lot of blocks. https://t.co/YcCXpt3bR2
