the library computer has no Word, or notepad so I am copying and pasting the text into here.
Tourism is an important part of the City's economy. Tourists need to feel welcomed and safe in San Francisco
The hotel industry in San Francisco is launching an aggressive billboard campaign. Signs like, "Today we rode a cable car, visited Alcatraz, and supported a drug habit," which is designed to discourage tourists from giving money to panhandlers. This billboard is designed to preserve tourism, and getting the homeless out of downtown
Some of you may be afraid of the homeless people that are on every other corner of San Francisco, especially near fishermans warf where all the tourist hang out. For the most part, I just ignored them and they never bothered me. i gave change to a bunch of them that actually were quite entertaining.
Maybe all of the homeless should create an Act, which will make them famous like the "bush man."
I found most of them to be quite harmless, but everyone has a different opinion and some people just do not like homeless people. The main areas to stay away from is the Tenderloin. I was a little uneasy about some of the people. I was offered heroin a few times, I'm not sure if this is an everday thing in the Tenderloin district or if I was there at the wrong time of year, and the wrong time of day.
If you must go, then do it during the day, where the sun light will be your aid.
The only alternative is to walk FASTER.....each district in San Francisco is not that big, so within 5 minutes of walking you will be clear of the area.
