I have no doubt that SF has its ups and downs. My comment was based on my subjective experience. I'm sure we've all seen the Hollywood accounts of SF in the Dirty Harry movies. It was once bad enough to get such an impression.

I was just sad to see SF in a bust, because I genuinely enjoyed it in 2011. I can only hope that this slump resolves and that the folks who are down and out on the streets get the help they need.

I actually love SF and would love to visit again.
