I just came back from there 2 weeks ago here in the UK. Knew where to avoid, but had an amazing time, did everything we wanted to do, such a beautiful city. We stayed in Nob Hill. We didn't feel un safe at all. Media have well overhyped the bad things. Most cities have its problems. Highly recommend visiting
So happy to hear you had a great time and didn't have any trouble! I was in London in late June toward the end of the heatwave, spent some time in the Cotswolds too. Was incredible! Thanks for watching :)
If you know which way to turn when you leave where you are staying and how to return, you are good. I always say look for landmarks as you walk and know where you should not pass.
4 out of the 5 I agree is not a place I'd live in. But the Mission is an awesome neighborhood. There are pockets of it that are questionable but it has gentrified so much that it's basically a hipster enclave now. If the point is that the neighborhood has gotten too pretentious, busy, and housing too expensive for what you pay; I understand. But it hasn't been too dangerous for while now for most of the neighborhood.
The mission is a really big neighborhood and there are definitely parts that are lovely. But I think a lot of it is still kinda grimy based on what I see week to week when I’m in the area. Personally not for me, but it’s one of my favorites for food no doubt. Appreciate the comment and you watching!
I grew up in the Mish, had a druggie spread out his shopping cart in front of my mom’s, told him to clear it, walked to get breakfast, came back, he was still lollygagging I said “ move your shat to the vacant space across the street” and he did. Had to use bleach to clean the sidewalk, city life.
Valencia corridor and westward towards Dolores Park / Castro is pretty nice (although that's often called "Mission Dolores" instead of "Mission" proper). Lived there for 6 years, had a homeless guy sleeping on my porch once or twice but he was nice and I helped him get services. Other than that it's a lovely neighborhood and never had any problems, car was parked outside daily and zero breakins.
Valencia Corridor is gorgeous, and one of the areas of the Mission I would actually consider living. Have a good friend that lives there and visit all the time. She never has any issues and neither have I.
(1) Do not move to the Civic Center/North SOMA is horrible (Mission Street between 11th - 4th street STAY AWAY FROM 6th STREET) - danger/drugs, needles on the ground, human fecal matter, folks doing mental heal mess on the street.. (2) Do not move to Tenderloin District, a lot of shooting, drug dealing, dangerous, lots of SRO's low class people live there, it is dirty as heck (3) Do not move to anywhere where the people living in Tents right on the sidewalks in front of your home/apartment. (4) Bayview is so isolated for sure. It is like a Mason Dixon Line and the segregation (SFRA segregated the area) and then yuppies moved in and gentrified parts of the area plus it has lots of post governmental toxic chemicals in the ground and high Cancer Rates from the post government dumping chemicals int he group. (5) No China Town.. run down and dirty and pretty segregated on so many levels. I walk the city daily and there are so many other great neighborhoods that are safer (not 100%, but better for your emotional health and if you can afford the rent: ie. Pacific Heights, Marina, Sea Cliff, Presidio Heights, Lower Pacific Heights, NOPA, Lone Mountain, Sunset, Richmond, Laural Village, Ashbury Heights, Corona Heights, Cole Valley, Eureka Valley, Noe Valley, Dolores Heights... parts of NOPA, and certain parts of Alamo Square... (lots of smashed car windows now a days) to name a few
nice video! I found it very informative. Would this also apply to the case of a 1-week travel tho? What r some areas that ud recommend to live in for a single traveler?
Living in San Francisco for 13 years now. Tenderloin/Civic Center/Soma 6th-10th are really rough areas I wouldn't go. If you look up Civic Center Bart just try to be at least 1km away from it. That's ground zero of the bad parts of SF imo. Mission has cool stuff and is worth checking out but does have some of the overflow from the above areas so just be aware of your surroundings. Chinatown is great to visit no issues.
@@gander49 Thx! It’s always nice to have some pro tips from the locals:) I wonder if the public transport is safe tho considering I will prolly have to depend on that 🤔
My dad’s family is from Bayview and it’s was ok when I resided there years ago. It’s all in who you know that’s all. It’s a pretty decent area if you’re looking for affordable housing.❤
Highly recommend you revisit this video with hunters point. Huge infrastructure, plans, and green spaces are being built as we speak from India basin, the shipyard and all the way up to Pier 70.
Definitely undergoing a huge change. It will be decades before it is all complete, especially since they just found radiated material at the area that was supposed to be gone. I have high hopes for the area and the remainder of the former industrial sites along the Central Waterfront like Pier 70. Love what the City and these developers are doing there. The places they’ve built so far look great.
Couldn't agree more! SF is one of the most amazing places! Don't listen to the click bait negative news. But agree there are a few bad spots like the infamous Tenderloin. Steer clear of those places and the rest of the city is amazing! Great insights on how Chinatown and the Mission are great to visit, but not the best to live.
Click bait??? The place is a disaster. Robberies and drug addicts and human feces everywhere. Half of the downtown businesses are abandoned, more every day. Street takeovers, can't even park a car on the street, it's a nightmare. You must be in a rich area where you have security and don't have to live with the "peasants." You think it's ok that only half of the city is a hell hole? The fact that you said it's only "reviews" saying it's bad, means you don't go outside.
@@bassage13 most of this city is nothing like you describe. Vast majority has nothing to do with any of what you see online. Sorry your experience hasn’t been great-assuming you live here, maybe you should consider an alternative if it’s as bad as you claim.
Dude...mission dist. and Hunter's point aren't that bad at all. I like the areas. Tenderloin and Market are sketchy. Chinatown is tough cuz it's crowded and hard to find someone that speaks comprehensible English.
There are sketchy and non-sketchy parts. By no means do I think those are close to Tenderloin level. Still love the Mission and go there often. Thanks for watching!
powell station area, bart station, is it safe? arrival is 830 so most likey i will around 10pm in bart station of powell. are there still people around that time?
Interesting video - I actually hadn’t realised that Dolores park was considered as part of the mission district. Having spent time in Noe Valley and Dolores I always felt super safe and thought it was quite gentrified.
Thanks for watching. I’d say the Marina would be a great short term area, really walkable, lots of restaurants and shopping, and great park spaces within walking distance regardless of what area you are. Pac Heights is also great-very safe (as is Marina) and there are two pretty sizable parks and good food/shops. Not quite as walkable because there are hills, but still very walkable with everything you’d need short distance. Both areas close to the Golden Gate Bridge so easy to get to Marin, napa, Sonoma. What types of things do you do in your free time?
A couple exceptions in the Mission: 00 block of Hill Street, Liberty Street, Fair Oaks, just so long as you have a garage to park your car. Great Chinatown alternatives are Clement and Noriega Streets although the food is a bit dummied down.
Live on Snob Hill instead of Chinatown? That's like saying live in Specific Whites instead of the Tenderloin. Didn't mention Bayview, Dogpatch, Potrero Hill, Excelsior, or Vistation Valley
I grew up in Chinatown, hungout in the Mission, ice-skated in the Tenderloin, worked in Bay View Hunters Point and it was great. I don't know what you're talking about and who this message is directed towards, but I'm sorry that you had a bad experience here.
Similar to Bayview/Hunters Point. Technically it is within the overall Bayview neighborhood but slightly more removed from that southeast corner. There are great things about it, playgrounds, things to do on third, but by and large not a place I necessarily recommend. I consider it all within that Bayview area.
Thanks for watching! There are still so many great things about these areas, but its tough to see where they've gone. I hope we can continue improving, and get them to the level of so many other areas in the city that remain beautiful, safe, fun places to live.
I grew up in San Rafael , Ca ( Marin County) . Although there were always pockets of very wealthy people , it USED to be filled with Middle Class / Working class FRIENDLY and WARM families like ours . Once I graduated College and came back in the mid 80's . EVERYONE i grew up with couldn't afford to live there . The Neo-liberal economics of Reagan ( which gave GIANT tax breaks to the very wealthy AND speculative realtors RUINED Marin County. Now it's FILLED with EXTREMELY wealthy and generally speaking VERY narcissistic people . EVERYONE there who actually works COMMUTES to Marin country now and lives over an hour each way THANKS FOR HELPING TO RUIN MY COMMUNITY THANKS FOR NOTHING Now go count your $$
Demography is destiny. Most of this is about race, but we are forbidden to say that. "Liberal open-minded tolerant and loving" is just a cover for the suppression and punishment of departing from the PC line.
@@austinklar The problem of unaffordable housing and wide spread gentrification which has pushed out a ton of working class San Franciscans began with the first tech boom of the late 90’s… Since about 2000/2001 the problem metastasized and has only exacerbated with the influx of tech workers (not you) and real estate speculators (ahem)… The city that I love and grew up in has been irreversibly altered culturally, artistically, demographically and aesthetically because of people who moved here with the goal of maximizing profits in one form or another… Is it ALL your fault? Of course not, but you are without doubt part of the problem… Hope ya meet your sales goals this quarter ✌️
@@Psycopat Your initial assertion was that I was part of the problem. We seem to agree I have nothing to do with the influx of tech, so I didn't respond to that. The only other cause is RE speculation, to which you claimed I contribute. I'm curious how. Thanks for the props and I DO appreciate the engagement/thought discussion.

i know about tenderloin district but is it safe around the powell station? lots of great hotels there, is it safe?
Excellent advisory. How I miss the City!
Appreciate it 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Yeah. You’re definitely right about the Mission District. But I still think it’s one of the best neighborhoods in SF.
Love going there. Some of the best food in town!

You have to avoid 9th to 6th on Mish
@@randydub6868 Yes, one does.

Good suggestions! I also like Valencia Corridor
The 00 blocks have meth fenty ppl looking for packages on steps and anything unlocked
Regardless of what the media says, "I'm going back to Frisco". I said "Frisco" because I personally like to use that old term.
Honestly one of the best cities in the world
