In a land constrained city like SF, you can't devote an entire quadrant to neighborhoods that look like this:

It's structurally dense and looks impressive from an aerial, but on the ground it's underwhelming and almost suburban. SF should upzone this area and let it evolve into something modern and more substantial than what it is.
I know that area is famously foggy and cold, and not super desirable, but surely new housing there would be absorbed quickly nonetheless. Hell of a lot better to live in the foggy Sunset than out in Valejo or something. |
I wouldn't upzone the street that you linked us to, but if you do a 180 back to Noriega, that street would be a prime candidate, as well as numerous others like Irving, Judah, Taraval.
