if you think that it was bad in the nineties, omg, you aint seen nothing yet.

i was homeless there back about ten years ago, i was transient there for a solid three years... i knew a lot of people at the street level... i could walk into almost any meth camp and sleep because i was familiar with so many people...

i remember my last time that i stopped into the tenderloin just before i left sf for the last time, i saw one of the meth addicts that i knew fairly well.. he was a pretty stout and tall white boy... he could handle himself pretty well.. i casually asked him how was everything going in the TL... his response was "it has gotten really bad down here.. there are drug dealers selling to other drug dealers... they will knock you the fuck out and pee in your butt".. that is precisely what he told me.. and he wasnt playing... i took a look around and there were gang banger enforcers posted on all major street corners... the whole place had transformed...

sf has legit gone gangland. no bullshit.. it aint like back in the nineties... in the nineties, it was still gay capital bullshit and hippies... oh sure, they had the meth problem... but it was nothing like it is now... now, it is hard core..

yeah.
