I lived on Sutter Street in the '70s. Overall, the city was beautiful, clean, and safe. There were seedy areas here and there, mainly south of Market Street, but most other neighborhoods, downtown, and the parks were fine. It's tragic what the politicians and the useful idiots who voted for them have done to destroy it.

The movie was made in Bodega Bay. If you had been to SF you would know. So I assume you haven’t. Maybe 2 minutes in the beginning when she buys the lovebirds she is near Union Sq. Vertigo is the movie for SF.

Maybe some areas are not clean and unsafe. It is a city. But SF has always been beautiful. South of Market is fantastic. It’s called SoMa. Yank Sing is there. The best dim sum. So is MoMa - Museum of Modern Art. The Embarcadero when you were there was awful. Think of Bullitt. It is beautiful now. Where it’s bad is the Tenderloin and it was bad when you were there. This is where there are drugs and prostitutes and if you just go a block past the Clift Hotel - you are there. Covid didn’t help. There are lots of homeless but unfortunately they are in other cities as well. The rents went up so dramatically in 2017 that many lifelong residents had to leave. Tourism has dropped significantly.
But it is still one of the most amazing cities in the US. Many European tourists want to go to SF and it is wonderful to be around so many different languages. Just looking out the Ferry Building at the Bay and going to Sausalito. Going to Alcatraz. Going to the Presidio. Bicycling the Golden Gate Bridge. Going to de young museum. Or Legion of Honor. Getting the best croissant in the Mission at Tartine’s. Having the best clam chowder at Sam’s Grill. Nothing like it in the world. I was there last Christmas.
