One block is beautiful, safe, clean, old early 1900's colonials and victorians, and LITERALLY one block away there's gunfire because two gang members got into a disagreement about something. 

My place in SF is 2 blocks away from the convention center and it is rented on a weekly basis with a 5 day minimum.
