I will be making a trip to San Francisco at the end of April for several days for a Financial markets Conference. I will staying at the Omni Hotel, 500 California Street.

I was curious about state regulations on EDC of knifes and also the general area in which I will be staying. Is it relatively safe? What's around there?

Can anyone from the area help me out? I would have sent PM to individual users, but I couldn't get into Groos map of users.
