That fogcityjournal story is pretty much on the mark.

Mary McGarvey, a San Francisco resident who works in the Western Addition, said she is sick of being afraid to walk in the neighborhood. She called for a "nice clear strategy" to crime near federal housing projects.

"They're federally subsidized to loiter, shoot and do drugs," she told the crowd.

As I sit and watch the crack dealers crowd into the doorways at Hayes Valley, I can't help but agree. San Francisco is a beautiful city, but the government is an abject failure.
