http://www.nbcbayarea.com/savingsf A new streaming series searching for solutions to deep-rooted problems plaguing one of the most progressive cities in America. A quiet San Francisco neighborhood, known for stunning ocean views and lush forests, has become a symbol of the city’s systemic problems involving poverty, crime, and mental health. The NBC Bay Area Investigative Unit spent months uncovering the mystery of how a former English teacher became a convicted felon – caught up in drugs, homelessness, and accusations of a bizarre obsession with a woman in the woods. In Episode 3 'Big Angry Monsters', charges for hate crimes and violence land a homeless man in jail, once again. But who was he before his lengthy criminal record? A trip across the country to his hometown reveals a witty, gifted, and charismatic young man, whose college classmates believed was destined for success, even fame. One close friend is convinced opening the wrong door on a single night may have triggered decades of drugs, crime, and homelessness. Watch new episodes every Monday.
