Murder was not the only crime occurring. Rape was another prevalent crime in the neighborhood. There were many occurrences where girls were raped. Many of the rape victims were underage girls who left home and came to the Haight. There was lots of sexual violence among the visitors. One of the reported cases of rape was the raping of a young girl on the streets. The girl was only sixteen and she was drugged and gang-raped by a vicious group of men.

It was not in the whole city, it was all smashed into one neighborhood. Because there were so many people and the city was hounding them for having this event, there was no way to provide housing for all of the youth who came to the neighborhood.
Many people were living on the streets. There was a lot of homeless youth during the time. The overcrowding had a strong impact on the neighborhood. It was too much to handle.

Stores began to make a profit off of the tourists, turning the neighborhood into a money-dictated community. There were no more free concerts. The neighborhood no longer practiced a free lifestyle. People were selling drugs, stealing, selling their girlfriends, and getting a quick buck however they could.
