Beware of those drug attics.

Is that similar to an opium den?

And yet it made #7 on the Ten Best Places to Live list I linked.

And yet San Fran was 6th worst city in the WORLD in this list. It depends on the writer.

Like any big city it has its nice parts and not so nice parts. I used to have to travel to San Fran regularly, 4-6 times a year, though I no longer do and haven’t been there in about four years. The situation in San Fran got noticably worse over the 2012-2016 time frame where the businesses and tourists were.

Portland was a city I didn’t frequent too often but was there every now and then. Another really cool city that has managed itself downward. The last time I was there in 2016 was noticeably different. I got hit up by panhandlers almost every block. I forgot what the policy was but they were encouraging the homeless to set up camp in the city. Outside Portland was still beautiful. My company actually moved their office from downtown to the burbs because the employees didn’t feel safe.

The worst city I’ve seen for beggars is Cincinnati. They’re everywhere, really aggressive at times, and a good chunk of the city shuts down at about 6:00.

They needed a good anchor.

This is why SF, LA and NY were on your list - and this is a list for foreigners who want to live in these cities:
"Finance and housing as well as the local cost of living are major pain points for expats there.”

Sorry I cannot help but be humored by your Hoboken Street cred claim. Glad you could jump in after the gentrification and feel like a total badass!

Have you ever lived anywhere dangerous?

It’s all about perspective. If you value things to do those cities will rank high. If you value cost of living, they won’t. And there are many other factors that could go either way. For me, I love Knoxville. Arlington, TX was pretty fun too and I’ve lived in a few other places as well but East TN is home.

How do they determine if they are members?

Have you ever lived anywhere dangerous?

Well...test depth on a submarine inside the territorial waters of a hostile nation. Would that qualify?

Then again, I had no need to go out and get groceries, so...perhaps not.

Looking at the mugshots, that should suffice.
