There are also several stores that cater to the DJ and electronic music buff. For example,<br />

Tweekin Records has carried some of the best house vinyl in the city since 1992.<br />

Differences between Lower and Upper Haight include the housing projects in the Lower<br />

Haight, and the greater number and variety of shops. The houses tend to be less ornately<br />

painted than in the Upper Haight, and rent can be cheaper.<br />

The neighborhood is also home to a large Buddhist enclave associated with <strong>San</strong><br />

<strong>Francisco</strong> Zen Center.<br />

Transportation<br />

The area is very well served by several <strong>San</strong> <strong>Francisco</strong> Municipal Railway (MUNI) bus<br />

lines and it is a few blocks away from all of the MUNI Metro lines. The heart of the<br />

neighborhood, at the corner of Fillmore and Haight, is mere blocks away from the transit<br />

nexus of Church and Market, which is also the location of the city's largest supermarket.<br />

Surveys show that this neighborhood has one of the highest number of daily trips by bike<br />

per capita of any <strong>San</strong> <strong>Francisco</strong> neighborhood, and walking is also very popular.<br />

Buses<br />

The neighborhood is served by the east-west Haight Street lines of 6, 7, 66 and 71, which<br />

connect downtown with various neighborhoods around and west of the Upper Haight.<br />

The 22 line runs north-south along Fillmore Street, connecting the Marina District with<br />

the bay side of Potrero Hill. The 24 line also runs north-south, along Divisadero,<br />

connecting Pacific Heights with the Mission and Hunter's Point neighborhoods. The 16<br />

follows Oak (inbound) and Fell (outbound) Streets, but is a commuter express with only<br />

one stop inbound (A.M., at Oak and Franklin) and outbound (P.M., at Fell and Gough).<br />

Metro<br />

All five Muni Metro lines pass through the adjacent Duboce Triangle neighborhood. The<br />

N and J lines stop at Duboce and Church. The K, L and M stop at Church Street Station,<br />

at Church and Market.<br />

Parking<br />

There are no commercial parking lots in this neighborhood, and the on-street parking is<br />

extremely congested. As with most central and downtown <strong>San</strong> <strong>Francisco</strong> neighborhoods,<br />

it is advisable to find other methods of transportation, such as bicycles, public<br />

transportation, or taxis.
