What do you know about the cleanup of the area after the shipyards and other industries left the area? My grandfather worked at the shipyard where the Chase arena is now located, and I thought there was a lot of toxic waste in the area.
Wouldn’t surprise me if those industries left waste when operating. All of those developments undergo years of cleanup before they build new mixed use spaces, and those records would be with the city planning department.
Yup. The buildings in the old rail yard (where the bulk of UCSF mission Bay is) were not allowed to dig down, to build basements. The plan is to simply seal in the toxicity by building on top. They did do some soil remediation. I've been here for 21 years. When I moved here, the only buildings were the Gap headquarters and the foundation of the Genentech building, the first building on the campus. There was a golf driving range in the old days, and a huge Sports Basement location. At 3rd &16th, there was an equipment rental business where we used to get our propane for grilling refilled. Where the hospital is was a huge warehouse for Fry's. The burning man headquarters was in the location of the hospital too.
Buyer viewing a property for sale here: "so, where are we located exactly?" Agent #1: "dogpatch." Agent #2: "Central waterfront." Agent #3: "lower Potrero hill." Agent #4: "oh, technically, this is in mission Bay." Agent #5: "it's practically Potrero hill." Agent #6: "SOMA."
Perhaps, tho prima facie evidence is still rebuttable. Wasting your life watching videos about moving to places you already know you don’t want to move to also qualifies.
Love this area!

😂😂
Wouldn't intention to relocate to San Francisco be prima facie evidence of insanity and lead to immediate institutionalization?
