Not sure if it’s anomaly. There’s literally a giant housing project right next to the Brooklyn bridge.

No Mountain View’s but views of all the famous bridges and skyscrapers. Neighbors across the street paying 6K for rent for 1 bedroom
I don't think you understand how fukked up areas like Sunnydale and Hunter's Point was. The projects there literally ranked the lowest in nationwide in terms of livability indexes. The projects there were military barracks built in the 40's only meant for temporary inhabitants. They just started tearing down these projects in the last 5-10 years.

Hunter's Point had the highest infant mortality rate in the whole ass state of California. San Francisco used to have double the black homicide rate of Oakland not too long ago in the 2000's. And this is when Oakland used to stay in the top three most dangerous cities list.

This is all off considering that San Francisco is often called the most scenic city in the US and the world. SF had the most acute case of black flight of any big city in the country for a reason. That shyt was like a biblical exodus.

Hunter's point is Disneyland compared to how it was in the 80's and 90's... :mjlol:

Even thr early 2000.

Hp is literally transformed an gentified, stop bytchin
Forreal, in the 80's, 90's and even early 2000's, the murder count for the whole city in 2022 could have been in HP or Lakeview. SF hasn't had a murder count near 100 in like 10 years. The hood element in the Sco has been eradicated. And they want to replicate that level of gentrification in cities like DC too. Hardly any black folk left in the city. The whole Bay gentrified more than something slight. All of the real hittas from the city dead, locked up, moved to the valley or elsewhere or grew the fukk up and on some regular grown man shyt or hustling legally.

But its good that folks in Lakeview can finally live a regular quiet middle class life. Ever since that old Asian lady got murked in the drive by on Broad Street like five years ago, the murder rate has plummeted. Probably because police and more cameras. And more black people moving out every year and being replaced by Asians and whites with money.

How is it that one of the most notorious housing projects in the state, has one of the most splendid views in the country? Hunters-Point Bayview has a beautiful location. Overlooking the bay, way up in the hills, yet it’s one of more dangerous areas in the Bay Area. Same with Marin City projects. It’s like the Bay Area is so scenic and beautiful that they can’t even find less than scenic land to build housing projects at. Lakeview, Sunnydale, all grimy but scenic. Filmoe not as scenic, but the buildings are historic and beautiful. San Francisco is natural scenery and architecture porn. :dead:
Didnt Sunnydale get sucked into the hellmouth like 20 years ago:dame:

Did those black ppl raise the murder rate in other parts of the bay?

I wondered the same thing growing up in Lakeview on Randolph Street back in the 80's and early 90's. The view outside my window was crazy looking at the hills in the distance. But back then, you not really spending much time outside unless you wanted to get Ricky'd like Boyz 'N The Hood. :damn:Truth be told, Cali hoods as a whole don't look run down like Detroit, Baltimore etc.

But the projects in Frisco in Sunnydale, the Point etc. used to be hella fukked up living conditions. Raw sewage pouring out of buildings and shyt, nikkas living in half burnt down apartments. :picard:
Randolph is beautiful. Even with that housing project smack dab in the middle.

Man, I wish the water was healthy in Hunters Point Bayview and that environmentally it was safe. I wish black folks could retain residence in that area, and keep some of the homes surrounding the projects. Because that area is truly one of more beautiful areas in the country. Black folks deserve a scenic overlook and hillside homes and apartments. It makes me sad to think that the projects in SF have some of the highest rates of cancer in the city. Black folks who moved to the bay during WWII from Louisiana and Texas, shouldn’t be treated this way, since they contributed so much to americas efforts.

Eh, I feel like a huge percentage of violence in SF is so tied to turf and territory. That's why nikkas from Sunnydale was still sliding through Lakeview spraying up the block trying to hit whoever was outside like it was still the 90's, when Lakeview been majority Asian since the 2000's. And like I said, when that old Asian lady got murked in 2017 on Broad Street, that was the last straw. I feel like Frisco is like Vegas, what goes on there stays there.

It ain't like a Hurricane Katrina New Orleans nikkas going to Texas in 2005 scenario. And that was only because New Orieans laws release all murder suspects without witnesses after 60 days. So NO nikkas was murking everything in Texas in 05-06' expecting to be released from jail in 60-90 days. But Texas laws don't play that shyt. Can't make that shyt up.

Because hella places Bay nikkas have been displaced to in the Valley are heavily active already on their own shyt (i.e. Stockton, Sac). And Bay nikkas ain't with Blood and Crip politics they have in those places unless they switch up once they get there. Or Frisco nikkas leave Cali entirely like I did.

the bay/norcal
The Bay has that natural charm that SoCal could never touch.

SoCal roads are definitely better though. Driving in the Bay :hhh:
