not true
i lived in visitation valley in SF when i was a kid and it was

bunch of samoans dealing drugs everywhere, needles at the bball courts, broken glass in the sand box at the park

mothafukkas fighting in the middle of the night, people doing donuts at 2am

had this crack head ringing our doorbell at 2-3am talkin bout she's pregnant and needs a ride to the hospital until my neighbor came out and got her to leave (i think he beat her ass cuz she wouldn't let him sleep)
pops moved us to merceid heights/oceanview (suburb in SF) school was hella clean, after school programs, little league, bball, football leagues.
