The Dark Side of San Francisco - Hunters Point (Episode 1)

Join me for the premiere of a brand new series, “The Dark Side of San Francisco”, reporting live from Hunters Point for Episode 1! In this video, we primarily cover the new and old Double Rock housing projects, the former Candlestick Park area and the Harbor Road area. Numerous San Francisco rappers and famous athletes come from this exact area of the city. Hunters Point rests right on the south-eastern side of San Francisco and is often referred to as the most isolated area of the city. It sits right on the shoreline of the San Francisco Bay and the United States military frequently used the location for naval purposes and ship building. Condensed housing was built in the early 1900’s primarily for military related individuals. With the engineering and development of various military related equipment, it’s rumored that a portion of the Hunters Point shoreline area is contaminated with radioactive and toxic waste. This is one of the main reasons the Candlestick Park development project is at a standstill and hasn’t seen progress in many years. The investors are skeptical about continuing forward with the possibilities of the areas soil being contaminated from the waste that was dispersed during the shipbuilding era. Hunters Point is extremely industrial and offers very little entertainment or healthy eating options. Liquor stores and fast food restaurants run rampant in the area. It’s quite far from the “desirable” areas of San Francisco and has the highest violent crime rate in the entire city. A perfect recipe for impoverishment and neglect from the city of San Francisco. Now is the time to stop reading this description and sit back and enjoy the launch of “The Dark Side of San Francisco” series.
