San Francisco, without a doubt in my mind, is the absolute last place in America that I would live in.
I've visited a few times and stuck around there for a bit for work/play. Each time I've come back with a horror story.
I had a homeless woman stalk two of my friends and I because we had a pizza in our hand. She followed us for several blocks screaming "give me that pizza" and would encourage the other homeless to help her by assaulting/blocking us. It felt like a zombie movie. We had a gang of 5 homeless by the time we got to our hotel, and it took a cop with a Rifle (M4 possibly, unsure) to finally get them to back down. (It wasn't a standoff type situation, the cop was there seemingly busting something else up, but just the sight of the cop made the homeless disperse)
There was another event that made me ask myself "WTF is wrong with this town". I was walking to a car park from my hotel and I was coming up on a Subway sandwich shop. Just outside the door was a small Korean lady who was selling bibles and other Christian type stuff on a table. A man walked out from the Subway shop, went right to the Korean lady. Bent down and got real close to the lady's face and started screaming "BITCH" over and over right in her face.
I've known a few girls from school that moved out there, 4 out of 6 were raped within the first few months of moving there. All 6 have since moved elsewhere. 1 committed suicide, which I believe her experiences living in San Francisco greatly contributed her decision to end herself.
