San Francisco by far is one of the safest, most beautiful, and picturesque cities in the world, however among all the beauty, and siteseeing, is a dark side of the city. While most of the city is safe during the day, it is extremely important to use caution during the night. Stay in well lit areas and avoid smaller darker streets. Also don't go into the Tenderloin, Hunters Point, Sunnydale, Potrero Hill, parts of the Mission, and areas south of Powell and Market all the way to Civic Center and Market. This strech of Market has nothing really of interest aside from clothing stores, seedy strip clubs, and x-rated video stores, as well as homeless people, and other seedy characters. Also as mentioned above avoid HP or Hunters Point, and Potrero Hill at night since these areas are know for high crime, and homicide. In the Mission try not to wear red or blue since you might be mistaken for a rival gang member, by one of the two gangs in the area. Overall enjoy the city by the bay, stay safe, and use common sense. If you are uncomfortable in a certain area ,leave immediatly, and don't put your life at risk for no reason at all. Some places in the city are not meant for siteseeing, and are better left alone. Take care and enjoy tha 415.
