Is the Mission, 1-2 blocks from 16th St BART a good area to live? There are some relatively cheap apartments nearby which look nice, and train access is convenient, but I live in another state and am unfamiliar with the area. Thanks in advance!

It’s not IMO. I refuse to live in a place where walking 2 block in a specific direction makes a difference in one’s safety.

Generally yes. Depending exactly which direction the 1-2 blocks are it can be a bit better or worse.

The area can be noisy even late into the night because there are a lot of bars and restaurants where people hang in that area. Generally safe area these days though and having Bart there is convenient.

Being completely frank: you probably don't want to live that close to BART, since druggies and homeless people congregate near cheap public transit. I would look further out and take a nice walk instead.

Really varies block by block & which direction you walk to be honest. Understandable why you're looking for this information on the Internet, but I'd recommend getting an AirBnB for a bit and scoping out any place in person yourself. Everyone has a different risk tolerance and the city has crazy range; the difference between 5th & Natoma and 6th & Natoma is night and day.

It's pretty unlikely that you've outsmarted a million other people looking for housing in SF to find a sweet deal, so absent other information, I'd say these apartments you found are probably cheap for a reason.

It isn’t a great immediate area. Will you have a 12 month contract? It might be an ok place to land if you have flexibility to move if you get here and don’t like it.

12 month contract. Photos look nice and Google Street view looks OK in daytime. Not sure about night.

I feel like I’m not getting enough work and not enough deals as compared to one off assignments. I’ve been making it known that I have capacity and people say they have deals coming up but then don’t follow up. I’m getting frustrated. I feel like I’ve expended my options for people to reach out or talk to. I’m not at ZERO hours but it’s not the kind of work that will give me enough hours and I don’t think other associates are having the same issue.
