We stayed in the Green Tortoise on Broadway. In the heart of the Red Light District, on the cusp on Chinatown and North Beach. The Red Light District consists mostly of big strip joints with leery bouncers who stand outside and try to get people to come in. I wasn’t scared to walk around because the area is full of people. But maybe I should have been. The windows of our rental car were smashed and a big red suitcase was taken - we were just lucky there was nothing of value in it.  The next night a man was shot in the back right outside the hostel. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/11/26/BA3A14C1V6.DTL&hw=broadway&sn=009&sc=228He died.I think I’m going to move to a different hostel.
