Diamond Heights, San Francisco, California From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Diamond Heights is a neighborhood in San Francisco, California. It is located in the middle part of the city, roughly bordered by Diamond Heights Boulevard and Noe Valley on the east side and Glen Canyon Park on the west side. It was the San Francisco Planning and Urban Research Association's first project, intended to use redevelopment powers to use land on the hills in the center of the city to be developed with, rather than against, the topography. Few existing residents needed to be relocated for the redevelopment program, which included housing for a range of incomes, churches, schools, parks, and a commercial center. Notable features of Diamond Heights include a shopping center on Diamond Heights Boulevard between Duncan Street and Gold Mine Way, and the San Francisco Police Department's police academy on Turquoise Way. George Christopher Playground is located behind the shopping center, and Walter Haas Playground is at the intersection of Diamond Heights Boulevard and Addison Street. School of the Arts high school and the California Youth Authority's Youth Guidance Center are both just northwest of Diamond Heights, at the intersection of Portola and Woodside. Public transportation in Diamond Heights is provided by Muni's 35 Eureka and 52 Excelsior lines. Both connect to the Muni Metro system; the 35 goes to Castro Street Station and the 52 goes to Forest Hill Station. Additionally, the 52 connects to the Bay Area Rapid Transit system at the Glen Park Station.

Dogpatch, San Francisco, California From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Dogpatch is a neighborhood on San Francisco's eastern side, adjacent to the waterfront of San Francisco Bay, and to the east of, and below, Bernal Heights. Its boundaries are roughly Mariposa Street to the north, I-280 to the west, 23rd Street to the south, and the Pier 70 complex to the east. It contains housing, some remaining heavy industry, more recent light industry, and a new but growing arts district. Because it survived the 1906 earthquake and fire relatively undamaged, and until recently had not been redeveloped, Dogpatch has some of the oldest houses in San Francisco, dating from the 1860s. Between the 1860s and 1880s, the marshes at the edge of the Bay were filled, and the area was connected to the main part of the city by means of bridges across what was then Mission Bay (which itself has now been filled in). This permitted development of industry and housing. Waterfront-oriented industry, including shipbuilding, drydocks and ship outfitting and repairs, warehouses, steel mills, and similar industry flourished until after World War II, when it began to decline. Dogpatch endured several decades of decline which lasted until the 1990s, when economic pressures led to modest gentrification of the existing housing stock, and new construction including loft-style condominiums, many of which were designated as "livework" units for artists, graphic designers, and similar occupations. The conversion of existing industrial space to live-work units or other housing has been controversial. The main commercial artery of Dogpatch is Third Street, with a number of retail and service businesses. A light rail line operated by San Francisco's transit agency, the San Francisco Municipal Railway, is scheduled to open before the end of 2006. The Third Street corridor connects Dogpatch to San Francisco's downtown, via new development zones including Mission Bay and the new UCSF research campus. Notable features of Dogpatch include Irving M. Scott School, the oldest public school building in San Francisco, built 1895; the historic shipyards at Pier 70; Dogpatch Studios, a film studio, design center, and event venue; and numerous historical residences.
