A bit of info here. The Tenderloin District was supposedly named because the police officers working there made so much in overtime.safaridave wrote:Be prepared for some serious "culture shock" if you have never been there before.

Just try and avoid the Tenderloin district and most of Market street... and dont go out at night.
I lived in California for too long. It has some nice aspects, but I do not miss living there.
