I find this conversation hilarious, because I have the "unique" experience of getting locked out of my SF building in the middle of the night, because a drug addict LITERALLY CUT THE STEEL GATE OPEN, and my neighbor "fixed" the problem with a bike lock.
That said, SOMA is a bit different than outer sunset. But still, folks who underestimate the resourcefulness of a drug addict are underestimating the power of nature itself.
