Far more than just SOMA/Tenderloin is problematic. Mission, Hunters Point are just as bad.
And more suburban areas like Fillmore, Western Addition Inner Richmond are still subject to rampant petty crime. I’ve lived in a few of these areas and I am well aware.
Didn’t a family just get held up at gunpoint while washing their car near Bernal Heights?
Not cherry picking.

This specific thread was merely talking about the look and feel of the city. If you look at some of my other comments regarding crime, you'll see I very much agree with you.

The quintessential feel of SF, cherry-picked to be outside of known bad areas, is the sound that is produced when, on a quiet street of Inner Richmond at 1am, nearly weekly, people (I use the term loosely) too incompetent to hold a rectangular object drop a recycling bin upon themselves as they steal recycling, and swear profusely.
- yes, there's human feces and needles and tent cities in the Tenderloin/SOMA area
- Painted Ladies is an old-ass building, as is much of the residential sprawl around it
- Fishermans Wharf is a textbook tourist trap
- there's a ton of nice forest-y areas (Presidio, Glen Canyon, Stern Grove, etc)
- Sea cliff area is textbook rich person neighbourhood
- Financial district actually looks like a modern metropolis
Picking one facet and ignoring the rest is... cherrypicky.
