Left the bay area 17 years ago. After the first dot.com boom/bust cycle. SF was livable and the tenderloin district was well defined and easily avoidable. Went back 2 years sgo for work. Walked Market and Soma where my old office was (near the ballpark) WTF happened? I couldn't believe how sketchy it all felt to me. Like the 'loin had taken over the city. I used to ride my bike to work in the dark from near Van Ness Avenue. Would never do that today. It's such a shame.
