> But I was told on day one Twitter orientation to “Walk fast”. Drugged homeless people approached me, one guy tried to hit me while waiting to cross the street.

WTF, is this really the reality of living in San Francisco?

I was there a few months last year and this seems like nonsense. To me it seemed like all the homelessness was restricted to a few streets like in skid row.

Twitter HQ was in the middle of one those streets.

The twitter office is on Market Street, so this is totally plausible

When I first visited in 2011, near the Moscone Center, I saw dozens of homeless and a naked guy in a biker hat while heading to my hotel. Human shit and drug needles on the sidewalk. Last year, I am not sure I saw anything, but I was closer to the pier. It did stink like sewage on a couple of streets and nobody seemed to care.

It's worth noting that San Francisco has a long tradition of public nudity, so the naked guy probably shouldn't necessarily be included here, unless there was another reason to do so.

And also a long history of drug addicts and human shit on the streets apparently

like the area immediately around city hall, and enclosing half the BART stations & good chunks of MUNI?
