I feel the same, when I travel to other larger cities (Portland, Seattle, Minneapolis, Chicago, LA, Atlanta, etc) there are similar problems. It’s not an SF problem it’s a city problem, especially the more “downtown’s” it gets as opposed to more “neighborhood’y”.

Cities have plenty of problems, but by and large they are not a particular danger to children.

I generally feel significantly safer in cities with relatively walkable sidewalks, relatively narrow streets, and lots of pedestrian/bike traffic than I do in typical American suburbs full of strip malls and 6-lane roads. The latter are in my opinion horrendous places to raise children.

It is not a city problem. It is a US city problem, but people are used to it, the are no incentives to make US cities safer.

In those other cities, the bad guys tend to live there. Whereas in SF, then tend to "commute" from the east bay.
