I always find myself explaining to new arrivals that the Tenderloin is not the dangerous, violent area despite (non violent) crime rates, it's absolutely the Mission. Widespread misconception for some reason, and now we have a map to point at. I know multiple people in the Mission who were mugged or who live in apartments above where shootings took place. Speaking as a former resident of the Mission and victim of a violent crime myself (in the Mission), it always amuses me when people who are, uh, sheltered to say the least, who want a nice upper middle class bubble, speak longingly about moving to the Mission, somehow ignorant that it's the one neighborhood on their list of acceptable neighborhoods where they are most likely to get mugged or shot.

The LA map is a lot more complete and interesting.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.google.com&#x2F;maps&#x2F;d&#x2F;viewer?mid=1ul5yqMj7_JgM5xpfOn5gtlO-bTk&amp;hl=en_US&amp;ll=33.990303182210106%2C-118.27076720146954&amp;z=12" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.google.com&#x2F;maps&#x2F;d&#x2F;viewer?mid=1ul5yqMj7_JgM5xpfOn...</a>

Points of interest on the map in the Mission is where 13 and 14 touch. This represents Sureño Norteño rival gang borders.<p>I&#x27;ve heard of drive-bys and other gun violence there but have only first hand witnessed people get jumped or beat up.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.vice.com&#x2F;en_us&#x2F;article&#x2F;san-francisco-where-violent-street-gangs-and-silicon-valley-tech-bros-coexist-206" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.vice.com&#x2F;en_us&#x2F;article&#x2F;san-francisco-where-viole...</a>

Looks like a map of future gentrification. It all starts when you see something like this. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;imgur.com&#x2F;a&#x2F;iONTY" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;imgur.com&#x2F;a&#x2F;iONTY</a> &lt;- photo is a liquor store in gentrification hot spot Highland Park, Los Angeles.

There are a lot of these maps, most of them generated by Google MyMaps, by gang members themselves.

This was created in 2011. I&#x27;m viewing on mobile, so I might be missing something, but have there been updates? It seems these sorts of blurry territory lines are liable to change frequently and suddenly.

No different than any other crime ridden city with people dying, <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;murderink.citypaper.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;murderink.citypaper.com&#x2F;</a>

Is there any evidence presented here? I see a map with some rectangles on it...
