South Alvarado St, Pico-Union

Stay away from this street if at all possible and whatever you do, try not to get out in this area of town. Even driving down this street, I get nervous because the area is dirty and gangster ridden. The streets are packed with homeless people and are filled with trash. This is one of the few places I have been in the US where it feels like you are in a really, poor dangerous third world country.
