> It is extremely stressful to walk your young child across a busy intersection in SOMA [...] where a crazy person is screaming at the top of his lungs, where a street that smells of urine awaits you on the other side.

It's not normal for a city to have these things. It's unacceptable that one of the richest cities in the world has normalized (or become conditioned to) such a sad state of affairs. You shouldn't be afraid to raise a young child in the city.

"Stimulating urban environment". What do these words mean to you? Cities strike nothing but fear into me.
