I don't even think about disembarking 7th and Mission for decades now. It was already getting bad news in the 80's living nearby. But we still went there for Taqueria Pancho Villa. It's a damn shame now, and gone are the days I'll stay overnight re: break-ins.
That said, using good street smarts outside of that zone I immensely enjoy my junkets there and plan on doing some Castro, Japantown or the beach aside from business while there: odd perk with climate change... sunny summer days near Sutro Baths.
