Hmmm. I lived in the heart of the Castro for 15 years. When I arrived it was lovely. When I left (3 years ago, pre-covid), it was... not. Homeless and vacant storefronts everywhere.

The merchant who has been running the shop below my place longer than I have been alive (and I'm OLD by HN standards) put it this way: The Castro is dying.

Maybe there are neighborhoods changing for the better somewhere to balance it out, but I kinda doubt it. The change is real.

The Castro is certainly not dying. I live in Noe and I walk through the Castro quite often - it's still a lively neighborhood.
