A resident of San Francisco’s Tenderloin district recently received nationwide attention by pointing a web cam out his window to document the activities in his neighborhood. Today we take a look at the current state of the Tenderloin, San Francisco’s grittiest neighborhood, where the homeless, recent immigrants, drug dealers, prostitutes and San Francisco families looking for cheaper rent co-exist.

Guests:

Elaine Zamora, district manager of the North of Market / Tenderloin Community Benefit District

Joe Garrity, lieutenant with the San Francisco Police Department

Don Falk, executive director of the Tenderloin Neighborhood Development Corporation, an affordable housing and social service provider focusing on the Tenderloin

Jaz Groome, Tenderloin resident
