The Streets of San Francisco
I&#x27;ve been living in San Francisco for 7 years and it just feels lawless.<p>I&#x27;ve been kicked while riding my bike, I&#x27;ve had people come up and start screaming obscenities at me, I&#x27;ve been followed for multiple blocks by someone yelling at me, I&#x27;ve been threatened, I&#x27;ve witnessed people shooting up heroin and smoking crack in broad daylight dozens of times, I&#x27;ve seen a man pee himself in his wheelchair. The list goes on and on. Sure, you&#x27;re going to see more intense concentrations of this stuff in the Mission and the Tenderloin, but, damn.<p>The sidewalks and streets are disgusting. The city just doesn&#x27;t seem like it&#x27;s actually governed. All the city supervisors seem to care about is blocking new housing because that&#x27;s what their constituents want.<p>You see enough of this stuff and you just start to try and ignore it. But it eats at me. Seeing people every day enduring levels of despair that are completely depraved hurts the soul.
