just don't go down south to oblock and you'll be fine lol i was there touring colleges during spring break and it was s-tier city, goated urban design and lively streets
i live close to sf and that city is actually becoming shithole, negative aura city
me personally it's a good mix of being a good area and affordability + local tourism.... Being a Dallas native I think the only issue is traffic within and around downtown Dallas.
minus the crime, shit on the street, needles, etc, sf is s-tier
pre-pandemic sf might've been top 1, but now all the tech transplants are gone and the city is dead now
