I hosted a lot of couch surfing travelers in the Tenderloin from 2016 to 2019. The first thing each of them commented on was the number of homeless people in SF. It was honestly embarrassing.

The tenderloin was always like that. It was a lot more tolerable in 2016 - 2019 than before and after.

I'm no SF expert and haven't been back in a long time, but I used to travel there in early 2000s and thought the number of homeless and agressive people was a lot more than where I lived in both LA and NYC.

Knowing how post-pandemic and post wealth grab has made the homeless population grow I can only guess how SF looks now.
