Umm, yah. Northbeach (aka Little Italy) is terrible. Actually the whole downtown areas are pretty bad. That's what happens when you're living in an old hilly city. But it's a great place to visit for sure! My favorite is trying to avoid the HUGE manhole cover size potholes and dodging the homeless person that jumps out of no where in front of your car at the same time. SF is a hard place to be a pedestrian.

Chinatown sucks, J-town isn't bad. After a while you get used to it.
