<p>Isn’t Harlem pretty gentrified?
When my daughter was in 8th grade her class took a trip in June to NYC/DC & stayed in a hostel in Harlem ( in DC they stayed at George Wa Univ)
And when D1 was working with youth & staying in UChicago dorms another June, with CityYear the youth were terrified because they were AA & the street they were working on was Hispanic.</p>
<p>I went to SF a couple years ago- we used public transportation & apart from the obnoxious vagrants around the wharf, I felt very safe.</p>
