I'm seriously considering a condo in Lower Haight, like a block and a half from Haight and Fillmore (away from the projects). I know crime is an issue around there (and yes I know there was a double murder last week) but I don't think it's that bad. Am I being a moron? Should I be more concerned about safety?<br> <br> In the past I've lived in places like north oakland and lower east side in NYC. So I'm not totally clueless. Then again, I know that I don't want to buy a place in an area I'm going to dread going outside at night.<br> <br> I've looked online other places, but I know there's a lot of San Franciscans on MetaFilter and a lot less tendency to hysteria or head-in-the-sandism here that other online communities., so I thought I'd check if anyone had advice here.<br> <br> (Oh and yes I have looked around at the SF Crime Maps web page) tag:ask.metafilter.com,2007:site.55472 Sun, 21 Jan 2007 14:56:42 -0800 crime lowerhaight sanfrancisco aspo
