Hunters Point, San Francisco - Part I

These pics are taken from www.mapjack.com (like google streetview but much better. The google streetview drivers skipped large parts of SF, but the mapjack guys literally covered about 99% of city blocks, plus they have higher quality pics).

I originally started out with the intent to make a thread showing San Francisco's various housing projects, but I got kind of carried away, and ended up with tons of pictures of not only the Hunters Point projects, but also the surrounding neighborhood, including lots of residential and industrial areas. I'm sure at least a few people will find this relatively unseen neighborhood interesting...































































































[/b]The Oakdale Projects:[/b]

























































On to the other HP projects:





































































































Some newer projects:




















































































back to the hood:































I used to work in this warehouse on the right. The neighboring warehouse, with the big rig in front is a fish packaging place. Yeah, it smells bad.

































Everyone remember how Google streetview captured someone climbing over an apartment's front gate in SF's Mission District? Well, it looks like Mapjack caught this lady looking for something valuable inside of a towtruck:

Great idea! I always wanted to put on my "Dragon Skin" and check this part of town out but I let my life insurance lapse.

My god, what an extensive photo tour. I've not been in this area in about seven years. Good to see some reminders of my last trip to SF.
