Over Priced and other San Francisco, CA Warning Or Danger Tips

Pier 39 is a nice thing to see; shops selling tourist junk, over priced food, and expenisive entertainment. Walk around and look but, don't buy. You can find the same stuff at half the price on Market St. or Chinatown.

The rent for a business on Pier 39 is crazy and the rent reflects to the sticker price in the food and souvenirs.

One thing to see is the sun bathing seals, their free.

Leave Pier 39 to the suckers.

A big scare and shock is the number of homeless in San Francisco. 90% of our homeless are either drug users or people with mental problems. A few years back our city released a large number of mental patients into the city streets and now they have nowhere to go and don't even realize where they are.

There is help for the cities homeless but, with the prices of our apartments (min 700 a month in the worst areas of the city for a room) it's hard for any of these people to find a home.

You may feel a little funny with people sleeping in the street while your touring the town. Don't worry, they don't hurt anyone. They will harrass you a bit but that's all. Just walk fast and if they ask you for money don't ignore them, just tell them no. If they ask again, tell them no and act like you mean it.

Never trust someone who smiles and comes up to you in the street to talk with you. We don't do that here. People normaly don't stop in the street to converse with a stranger unless they want something.

For a tourist it's a safe city, but like all cities play it safe. If you ever get lost in a strange area or feel theatend; walk into the nearest store ask for help. No matter how bad the area is the shopkeepers will always assist you.
