As San Francisco sees retailers and other businesses leave town and the city struggles with the level and perception of crime, it's easy to think it's all doom and gloom. But that's not the perception in every part of the city.
"I mean, I fell in love when I came, and I am still in love with the city," said Paola, who's managed a gift shop on 24th Street in Noe Valley since 1984.
Just a block away, making a tour of 24th Street Friday, was Mayor London Breed who heard from some of those upbeat business owners, and even fielded some photo requests, before talking about the other San Francisco. "The goal is to try to get people off the streets," she said."And to not continue to tolerate the challenges that continue to persist in his neighborhoods."
