Naw I feel you, it's the same with me and LA. A lot of folks hate LA, are scared of the crime rate, etc. etc...but I've never had a problem there. So I get where you're comin' from. About SF, I think shit needs to change out there. I've seen cats on the corner of Columbus in North Beach, but they were from Filmore and the TL...and the cops were trying to get 'em out of the neighborhood. Some bullshit.
i see what you mean about you having no issues when others do. like when i went to richmond...its supposedly hella fuckin ghetto (which it was) but the people inside of the neighborhoods were cool to me, on the same shit as me...smoking weed drinking hustling and slapping music..
TL in my eyes is lost...theres no gentrifying tl...its going to be fucking grimy for the rest of its existence...fillmore though once them big ass sky high apts started poppin up it changed the scene a bit..i took a homeboy and his girl through fillmore because they wanted to see it based on the rap songs and they were like this is fillmore? i thought it was all hood and shit? whats so big about some apts?
guess you had to be there..yknow
i did not take them through HP though..hahaha
