The BBQ-sauced knightscope apparently was actually pretty effective at making the hobos go elsewhere. Apparently the business using it was getting constant death/bombing threats for "harassing the homeless" so they got rid of it.

That's quite the collection. Skid-row and Houston's Wheeler St Station tent cities are arguably worse tho.

Yup that’s the one. I feel like the last time I drove by there there was way more trash though. Like half the asphalt was covered in trash. There was also someone pushing someone in an office chair down the middle of the street. I like how you can tell it’s by a Home Depot due to the half dozen orange lumber cart things.

looks like the alley behind the brand new 10 floor glass walled building I worked at in sf

employees on the ground floor were feet from people living like that who would just poop against the glass, they had a crew of guys who’d go hose down the sidewalk with like, hand sanitizer solution from a pressure washer

one day a shopping cart full of garbage on fire rolled down the alley like a homeless viking burial

OP, you stood on the street for 15 minutes and didn't get mugged, so your neighborhood isn't very rough.

Also, I hope someone pushes that homeless-person-harassing shover robot down some stairs.

oh absolutely. it's never been great but it's gotten especially bad just the last 3 years--this being worse than it's ever been. there are offramps and areas along the eastshore freeway like berkeley/gilman just lined 10 ft high with trash and poo poo, like that picture near the emeryville shopping but much greater extent and just blanketing entire streets and fields with tents and garbage back to back.

some places in tenderloin or mission/soma district or oakland make skidrow look like disneyland, and honestly skidrow is not that bad, a lot of just really poor working class peeps trying to get by in a lovely world.

I remember watching that one dude's Tenderloin Cam set up in his apartment, just pointed out his window all day. It caught so many interesting Tenderloin experiences but my favorite was some dude just attacking and punching the poo poo out of the side of a random bus until it drove off and he wandered away.

That neighborhood was fairly rough 20 years ago. It's gentrifying very rapidly now.
