How terrifying is it to walk San Francisco's Tenderloin District? (Recorded June 6, 2024)

San Francisco’s Tenderloin District has a global reputation for high level of crime, homelessness & drug use. It’s true that Tenderloin has a homeless & drug problem that is so deep that politicians and activists couldn’t find a solution to end it. One thing I know for sure, most of the homeless and drug users you see on the streets or living in tents are from somewhere: they’re not from the Tenderloin, they’re not even from San Francisco.
Is Tenderloin safe? Would you even walk the streets of the Tenderloin? Here’s my experience.
I have been doing on-and-off volunteer work at the Tenderloin for 9 years and so far, I haven’t had an experience where I felt unsafe. If anything, Tenderloin is one of the friendliest, most welcoming & tolerant neighborhoods in San Francisco. When I was on the verge of becoming homeless, nonprofits here saved me. Tenderloin’s compassion saved a lot of lives.
Is it dangerous? It depends. It could be dangerous anywhere anyway. Nancy Pelosi’s residence is located in one of the most expensive areas in the country but her husband was attacked with a hammer right in the comfort and safety of their mansion. Remember January 6 attack on the US Capitol? This is one of the most guarded and supposed to be safest in the world was stormed by a mob of you-know-who. You’d be okay touring Tenderloin but I’m not saying that it is like going to Disneyland. Just like when visiting other places, it’s important that you keep your wits about you and explore the Tenderloin during daytime. I have to tell you though that the condition at Tenderloin is very sad, dirty and grimy. If you’re here on a regular basis, it will take a toll on your mental health. People high on drugs with their bodies folded or lying on the ground are a common sight. There’s a big chance that you’ll step on human wastes, used syringes, condoms and other trash. You’ll see drug-dealing out in the open in broad daylight.
BUT, food is amazing. Residents are friendly and always smiling and asking you how’s your day going. You’ll see and hear kids playing at the park. There are a number of fabulous bars. Tenderloin is right next to the more touristy Union Square and hip Hayes Valley, too.
There is certainly no lack of things to do at the Tenderloin. However, this is not somewhere you would want to live.

I’m still shocked at how clean the subway is compared to NYC lol

[@Mash333]

I remember walking the Tenderloin alone at night, when I was visiting SF for a big audio conference. I’m 6’6” and 250lbs, and I’m usually perfectly fine walking around anywhere, including Manhattan, Chicago, L.A….. But holy crap, when confronted by groups of thugs that are tailing you, and mirroring you across the street, waiting for their opportunity…. I turned back and hightailed it back to the hotel.

[@t3nosanfran803]

Size doesn't necessarily matter. Rather, it's how you come across with your overall synergy as you walk around anywhere you go; and not just in the Tenderloin. You either have it or you don't. Possessing human-radar helps, as well.

Don't know the answer other than bussing them out to an open field and dropping them off.

Back in the day (circa 1990s), my job as a paralegal frequently brought me to the Philip Burton Federal Bldg. (450 GG ave.) for court hearings and other legal business. The streets surrounding it were honeycombed with wonderful tiny eateries that served a hearty breakfast and lunch; and quick ones if you were on-the-run. I always took the time to sit and eat at regular speed. (Never had the opportunity to have dinner in the area, though.) And the price was right (cheap) for their delicious and filling cuisine. Loved those bygone places and days / daze.

Local charities supply most of the tents. You're more likely to see someone die on the streets of the Tenderloin than to be attacked by them. The City supplies sedatives that keep cooperative residents under control. It's sad to see that so many stores in this area have closed. Greed has taken over.

[@BeauLeafulLife]

I've been in the SF Bay Area for over 20 years and the issues are real and quite prominent. But....I think as with any big cities, you just have to heed caution at any given time or place. Crimes happen all over the States/World. Right around the corners of the TL are upper Nob Hill, Pac Heights, the Marina, etc. which are quite affluent. Within the TL live families and lotsa small businesses, so life continues despite having to navigate with caution.

I was forced to take a driving break during heavy rain about 7 years ago. I walked from the financial district through the tenderloin after dark in the winter. I observed people lining up for shelter beds. And there were at least 40 persons about a block from services. All of them weathering outside were over the age of 70. Of coarse i didnt verify ages. I think elderly persons may have a difficult time getting services. We need to prioritize certain at risk groups that are basically disriminated against in our society. Oh! No one noticed. 😂

I visited Polk and Fulsom fairs without concern. However, I did feel a little scared in Hollywoord Boulevade LA in 1981. Only cars, no walking people, and saw a shooting of a man from a passing car.

[@lyndastarwriter8507]

Wow! I'm editing a story I wrote while in College - 1991 Sociology class, winter term, CSU Stanislaus to make an ebook out of it. For the class, all we had to do was stay in the McAllister Hotel (Timeline 8:40) x 7 days, the second week of January. The professor gave us an itinerary, places to serve like shelters, churches, we were to go out and observe, speak with seemingly displaced, interesting, people. Social services reps. We had many tours slated, like Delancey street and the restaurant, St. Anthony's church, free clinics, section 8 housing, etc. City hall was closed ex post Loma Prieta 1989 earthquake, which moved City Hall's dome about 4" off base and cracked the huge structure. We ended our week long stay with a visti to the Glide Memorial church - food line - kitchen and a service if we were so inclined. WOW. The service was uplifting. The choir was phenomenal. If we couldn't stay the entire week, there was no point in signing up for the class. We had to write an observational story - not a formal academic paper - to the best of our ability. Fine grammar waived. Photos (35mm back in the day), if we desired to share. I was thinking: quick, easy 'A'. It took awhile for me to digest certain lifestyles, vibes, experiences and write about them - we had a week to do that. I got an 'A' in the class - everyone who turned in at least 1,000 words, got an A. It was an interesting subculture in the Tenderloin. I'm going to leave my thoughts there. Thank you for your tour. I can't believe the McAllister hotel still looks the same. It looks a lot cleaner than I remember, too.

[@caliwalks]

Thank you for sharing your story. I worked for an organization that had some connection with McAllister Hotel. I must say that it is well-maintained even inside the hotel. I was once told by the staff that their elevator is one of the oldest in San Francisco. It’s an antique elevator with antique grill doors. I’m thinking, decades from now my videos will tell their own stories, too. I’m glad that we have KZbin to sort of serve like a time-capsule.

I realized it now that America streets are very unclean full of Garfiti defacing all the street signs..especially in Oakland, Los Angeles, and most city are all like that. And the people who did all this garfiti defacing the city street side walk they don't get punishment unlike in Asian countries. In Asian countries..their government will not tolerate garfiti writing on the street signs..they arrested you and you will be kill..especially in China. In Asian countries most hotel or motel are clean and respectful with low cost unlike here in America. In America most people are mean not disrespectful against each other doesn't matter what skin color you are. They will treat you bad, simply because they just don't like you.

It's a beautiful walking city with unlimited things to do/points of interest. I've walked around in multiple parts of the city, morning AND evening, without fearing for my life. SF has a few neighborhoods that are bad/trashy (like any major city) and the rest is just fine full of normal people. My advice...stay out of the tenderloins district 😂😂😂😂😂

True!

Take Bart to Oakland and you will visit a third world country right here in Cali.

[@caliwalks]

Nope. I have Oakland videos and it was fine.

This person doesn't really want to show how bad things are.

[@MokieDokie1]

​@@caliwalksFine? Obviously Caliwalks must not know much about Oakland. If you live in the Oakland Hills life is good but if you are down in Oakland there are neigborhoods that equal anything San Francisco has to offer. Eastmont, Webster or lower High street have above average crime rates as does the area around the Coliseum. My dad build low income housing in Oakland and I a spent a lot of time in those areas.

I’ll be there in 2 months for vacation. I’m definitely going to a walk thru at night.

[@MokieDokie1]

Be where? Walk where? San Francsico or Australia? If it's Australia we are talking about a country the size of the USA, so where matters.

[@TribuniPlebis]

Toxic mix of radical progressive policies and inequality created this situation in SF. It needs tough love to help the addicts, homeless and mentally ill. Paid for by the wealthy who can easily miss 0.1% of their profits to solve this.

Nancy Pelosi is doing a great job 👍

Compared to Aussie cities, Frisco looks half dead.

[@MokieDokie1]

It's San Francisco not 'Frisco' which means you know nothing about San Francisco and probably have never been to Australia either. I worked in Australia for a couple years as well as San Francisco and have no clue what 'half dead' means. I currently have a granddaughter and daughtrer in law living and working in The City and it is fantastic.
