    I lived in Hunter's point for 10 months during this century.
    First night in the hood there was a shooting half a block up on my side of the street.
    2nd night at my apt., there was a shooting 2 blocks down on my side of the street. Then there were like 6 days without a shooting. Then there was one on the opposite side of the street down by the library. This was all on Rivera, 1 block south of Palou.
    Mother Brown's was around the corner, South a block. This was all off the 3rd St. Bart. East at Palou or Rivera

    Part of the closed shipyard was once home to the Golden Gate Railroad Museum. They may have been displaced by cleanup operations. They first moved to the Niles Canyon Railroad and later moved to Schellville. Had the museum been able to stay, the place might have retained something of its industrial character.

    Just across the water on Alameda Island. The old NAS here is a little farther along in the process. We had years of trucks hauling contaminated top soil out and clean (hopefully) soil back in. Today the old base is home to new housing, a marine life sanctuary and a number of wineries and distilleries. It's still a little gross, but far better than Hunter's Point. Hopefully the Point will get there one day. Great video!

    America's ship building capacity will never recover just like Britain's ship building industry. The USA had 30 years to prepare for today's mass retirement of the remaining ship yard workers. America's ship building industry was great during ww2 due to multiple generations of institutional knowledge.
    What's the problem is that we had multi generational grooming the next generation to forgo trades. Boomers & GenXers told their kids to prioritize white collar jobs over trades.
    What the Boomers are upset about in regards to the trades worker shortage is that the Grandchildren of the Jones won't "accept their place" in society by becoming septic tank pumpers, the boomers never really wanted to see their own grandchildren pump septic tanks, work in factories, roof houses until they retire. The boomers in stead wanted their own grandchildren to become engineers, doctors, programers, and not people who weld for a living.
    The stage at which they became upset was when they found that there was a waiting list for services such as septic tank pumping,plumbing, and roofing not once did they wish for their own grandchildren to fill in the worker vacancy.

    The US is in des[erate need of shipyards capable of producing large military vessels as since the end of WW II the government has privatized most all of the Naval Shipyards we had. Those shipyards have either closed of downsized to the point that they are no longer capable of producing Naval Vessels as maintaining that capability was not cost efficient. Today the US has less than 5 shipyards capable of building surface warships out of the more than 2-3 dozen that either belonged to the US government or were under contract to the US government at the end of WW II.

    my father worked there at hunters point when I was born in 62 but he had already been working there for some years after World War II. I don’t remember when he stopped working there. I think I was around five they once had the USS enterprise docked there
    I actually began working at Mare Island naval shipyard in 1984 until President Clinton close the base down

      Is it the same place where Mythbusters lost the hand made cannon (I think that what it was) and Adam was kind of bummed not finding it. Because of the time he put into making it.

    I'd love for your videos to live on and be relevant, always... if you could deal something with the absurd advertisers in order to be able to cut the start/end of a video once your end of the bargain has been fulfilled... it would help everyone of us, and the future, i'm sure...

    Land gained directly from Mexico in 1850 that was private property and part of a grant is not subject to California’s confiscatory coastal land grab. California argued in court they never sold this part of the property, but that would rely on them owning it in the first place, which they didn’t Mexico did. This does not deter evil California Democrats from pursuing this illegal stealing of private property despite the Supreme Court case ruling on the subject Summa corporation versus California lands.
