We love the area but homelessness is clearly a huge problem, making it feel somewhat unsafe in some areas.

We had a hard time finding parking near the waterfront. They had one large parking structure closed during summer which was poor timing. Good restaurants but has some areas that were questionable. Maps were not very helpful.
