I live 2 blocks off Haight @ Ashbury and there is a marked difference in the street now that sit/lie is being consistently enforced. How do I know this? I'm there every day. Its my Main Street where I shop, eat and drink. Haight will likely always be 'edgy' which is part of the appeal. The bums/gutterpunks/homeless are not the consistent feature of the street any longer. Are they around? Yep. But so are tourists, hipsters, families and working people running their errands and going about life. Pretty much like every other neighborhood in town. - killbotkondo [The Rent Is...]
