In other words avoid density and transit. Best way to avoid bs in one of the densest cities in the US is to hang in the burbs.

The tenderloin is a tiny part of the city that is easily avoided. Plenty of dense places that are nice too.

I would disagree. I walk, drive and ride all over SF, including TL/SOMA because I'm not too squeamish and it's on the way between a lot of pairs of destinations.

I can tell you that if you took these 3 maps and overlaid them you'd have an SF sketchiness map.

Flat-land -> easy walking, access for transients

Transit -> access for transients

Zoned for density -> lower civic engagement, more likely to end up losing out and getting navigation centers and needle exchanges.

Most of the property crime seems to involve people in cars. In addition, drivers killed 50 people in San Francisco last year, mostly pedestrians. There were 55 homicides in the last year -- to be clear that 105 killings last year, about 50% by drivers.

Which part do you disagree with? That it is not the only dense area or that it is easily avoided?

Cool maps btw.
