(San Francisco) My older foster kid is getting transitional housing through a brand new Salvation Army project. Yay him, yay me! The move-in date is estimated to be July 15, 2008. <br> <br> The site is in the Tenderloin, on Turk Street between Jones and Leavenworth. What should he expect living on that block? What about walking from the Powell Street Muni to the site? Should he walk up Eddy and then cross down to Turk? <br> <br> He's a street saavy kid who can handle himself in urban situations. He understands that he'll be living in a neighborhood that has a lot of drug use and related situations. But he's also a very small kid. Should we get him licensed for mace, or is that a bad idea? What about pepper spray? Other tips?<br> <br> (This *is* where he will be moving, so "Don't move there!" is not helpful.) tag:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.90440 Sat, 03 May 2008 09:30:18 -0800 safety SanFrancisco Tenderloing TurkStreet ClaudiaCenter
