I recently found this site on a rainy day. I'm not suprised by all the negativity - I usually hear it everyday. To all the people drinking haterade out there: I work downtown and I do not work for the Fillmore Center.

I do not live in a penthouse and yes, it can be loud from time to time. I suspect other apartments in other parts of the city can be too, from time to time.

Since I've lived here, I've met many of my neghbors and even some of the FC staff -some know me by name. The local small business owners (Miyako, Diva Diva, Meaders cleaners etc...) are very genuine and friendly.

There are happy people here.
I haven't experienced any problems(safety/theft/etc..) There will always be crime and we live in a large community within larger San Francisco, The City. I believe a majority of those who wrote the negative reviews could be from the suburbs or the country. Either that or they could simply enjoy living around people who look like themselves.

The issue of the homeless - every city struggles to cope with this issue as far as I know. Yes, our climate is very accomodating to those who have nowhere else to go.

As far the drugs go - please see above response on the homeless.

As far as the murders go, please compare the overall SF statistics to some other cities- do your homework.

If you know the history of this neighbrohood, it has come a very long way. I love the progress.........

I'm going to say this before some other pathetic whiner says it. "You Obviously Work for the Fillmore Center, because it's a good review." I don't believe it personally, but I know some moron jackass is going to post it.

I am glad someone enjoys living in the ghetto because the majority of the people do not like being terrorized by gangs, crackheads,and homeless people.

You really need to get the food off your kids' backs, though.

No, President Bush said putting food on your family is important!
