London isn't so bad
if you know your way around. He is right when he says that the weird thing about London is that most Londoners aren't from there. That gives it a very strange feeling to me. I rarely feel uncomfy there though.
Strangely, the city that scared me most ever was San Fransisco, which was a shame because I wanted to love it.

Yeah
I felt the same about San Francisco. I did really like it, but I didn't feel comfortable in a lot of places. Very compartmentalised so that you felt like you were in Chinatown, or a shopping area, or a gay area, or (on a couple of occasions) a terrifying area full of the dodgiest of the dodgy. It wasn't jumbled up the way London is (not that there aren't divisions and ghettos here).

I can't really say
what it was about SF, but I just got the creeps about it. I expected that to happen in LA, but that was just a city with traffic jams. No underlying 'feeling', if that makes sense.

The amercian homeless let down SF (and most US cities)
Nearly every one of them should be in some kind of care establishment but because of the third world/right wing welfare/drugs policy, every single one of them is on the street wandering around muttering and shouting to themselves, threatening passers-by. Its a lot better in this country (even if we do still have too many homeless).
