TheoJ-- what i dont get is the police station in the middle of the TL ..what do they do? there is all sorts of crime that could be prevented by more police presence on the streets. in 8 months of my thursday night walks, i have seen ONE police officer!

bepsf: it depends on the risks you want to take. as a couple of people have pointed out, its safe for *most* people, *most* of the time, but maybe still doesnt feel so comfortable...im a scaredy cat so 99% of the people im scared of may have some issues, etc, but are probably harmless.

this map actually makes me less scared of one particular area (bc its so spread out):

id still like to live in one of these lofts. :/

orangered: thats a good point. and all of the gentrification is a double-edged sword; it makes it safer, maybe*, but also less affordable.

Citiapartments is notorious for pushing out tenants in the TL to renovate, and i suspect this problem will get worse as it gets even trendier.

*and yeah, maybe it is already safe if youre not dealing/buying or are homeless.

by normal, i mean not shooting up in public...i have seen this many times. i dont have a problem with homeless people, i am concerned about the drug users (bc that is where most of the crime in this neighborhood stems from, drug deals gone bad). Ive heard that people come from outside of the neighborhood to buy cheap drugs..its awful.

but 'normal', its a pretty bad term, i know.

i volunteer in the tenderloin every week..and yeah..its unpleasant walking home (I live on the other border),but im glad 'normal' people are moving in, it makes it that much safer!

i agree with visuallingual... it must be super weird to have your (extremely wealthy) boss redecorate your (extremely tiny, 1 room) apartment.

i dont like the mix of patterns in the living space, but maybe the assistant does.

I looked in "kitchen storage" and "food and dining" and I guess they were out of stock... I only make an ikea trip once every couple of years (I dont drive so its a bigger deal) so I guess I missed out on this one.

btw, i sort of love the familiar objects...it just goes to show peoples personalities that much more when dealing with a few of the same budget restrictions/sources.
