As a non-resident who has enjoyed going to tech conferences in SF in the past, taking along my family so they could explore the city while I was at the conference, this article did nothing to change my opinion of SF. There is no way in hell I would go to SF for a conference or take my family there.

What gave you the negative view? Was it personal experience or media?

Not OP, but I've seen SF in the news before coming here last week and it really looked bad.

It's sadly exactly as shown in the news - car break-ins and zombies around TL. It's just sad and not safe.

I don't know how the rest of the US looks like right now in terms of crime rate and drugs abuse - but as an european I have never seen anything this bad.
