It seems like a pretty hot topic over on the New York thread, so it's only fitting we try and get to the bottom of the people's opinions about San Francisco's worst neighborhood!

My vote goes for...The Tenderloin. Admittedly I'm an out of towner so i take a while to get my bearings, but walking through the Tenderloin I always feel incredibly unsafe.

What do you think is the worst neighborhood in San Francisco?

This is a clear cut no brainer - Tenderloin. The Tenderloin is one of the scummiest dirties neighborhoods I have ever been to...period. If you are a tourist people can spot you from a mile away. The worst part about the Tenderloin is that it's quite easy to stumble into as the main Market Street leads right into it. Be careful.

hello there, it appears that it is a resounding vote for "Tenderloin" district. I have to agree with everyone, it's very scary in there. I started another forum topic about giving homeless people money, and if it is dangerous. Great advice from everyone as well. Unfortunately though, I think I will be steering well clear of the Ternderloin,
