Bayview-Hunters Point or The Bayview, is a neighborhood in the southeastern part of San Francisco, California.

An extreme southeastern portion of the area is known as Hunters Point, or the point because of its proximity to the decommissioned Hunters Point Naval Shipyard. The district is notable for the Candlestick Park football Stadium, the current home of the San Francisco 49ers and the T Third light rail line.

In 2007, the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency approved the Bayview Redevelopment Plan for Area B, which includes approximately 1300 acres of existing residential, commerical and industrial lands which does not include the Hunters Point Navy Shipyard. This plan identifies seven Economic Activity nodes within the area.

In 2010, the neighborhood began a major redevelopment project for more than 700 acres (283 ha) of the former Navy Shipyard waterfront property which would include residential, commercial, and recreational areas.[3]

Location

Bayview and Hunters Point is located in the extreme southeastern part of San Francisco, strung along the main artery of Third Street from India Basin to Candlestick Point. The boundary to the west is Interstate 280 and to the south Highway 101. The entire eastern portion of the neighborhood is the San Francisco Bay and the former naval base of Hunters Point. Most of the Shipyard Area is landfill from the Bay, yet the larger Bayview sits on various rock and soil substructures. The entire southern half of the neighborhood is the Candlestick Point State Recreation Area as well as the Candlestick Park Stadium.

History

Primarily composed of tidal wetlands with some small hills, the area was inhabited by the Ohlone people prior to the arrival of Spanish missionaries in the 1700s. It was first surveyed in 1775 by Captain Juan Batista de Ayala who named it La Punta Concha (English: Conch Point).[4] Later explorers renamed it Beacon Point.[5] For the next several decades it was used as pasture for cattle run by the Franciscan monks at Mission Dolores.[4]

In 1839, the area was part of the 4,446-acre (17.99 km2) Rancho Rincon de las Salinas y Potrero Viejo Mexican land grant given to José Cornelio Bernal (1796–1842). Following the California Gold Rush, Bernal sold Bayview-Hunters Point property for real estate development in 1849. Little actual development occurred but Bernal's agents were three brothers, John Phillip and Robert Hunter, who built their homes and dairy farm on the land (then near the present-day corner of Griffith Street and Oakdale Avenue) and who gave rise to the name Hunters Point.[4]

After a San Francisco ordinance in 1868 banned the slaughter and processing of animals within the city proper, a group of butchers established a "butchers reservation" on 81-acre (0.33 km2) of tidal marshland in the Bayview district. Within ten years, 18 slaughterhouses were located in the area along with their associated production facilities for tanning, fertilizer, wool and tallow. The "reservation" (then bounded by present-day Ingalls Street, Third Street, from Islais Creek to Bayshore) and the surrounding houses and businesses became known as Butchertown. The butcher industry declined following the 1906 San Francisco earthquake until 1971 when the final slaughterhose closed.[6]

Shipbuilding became integral to Bayview-Hunters Point in 1867 with the construction there of the first permanent drydock on the Pacific coast. The Hunters Point Dry Docks were greatly expanded by Union Iron Works and Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corporation and were capable of housing the largest ships that could pass through the locks of the Panama Canal. World War I increased the contracts there for building Naval vessels and, in 1940, the United States Navy purchased a section of property to develop the San Francisco Naval Shipyard. [4] The shipbuilding industry saw a large influx of blue collar workers, many of them African Americans taking part in the Great Migration. This migration doubled during and after World War II, while racial segregation also prohibited African Americans from owning homes elsewhere in the city. Between 1940 and 1950, the population leaped from 16,500 to 147,000. {{citation}}: Empty citation (help)

Until 1969, the Hunters Point shipyard was the site of the Naval Radiological Defense Laboratory (NRDL). The NRDL decontaminated ships exposed to atomic weapons testing and also resesearched the effects of radiation on materials and living organisms.[7] This caused widespread radiological contamination and, in 1989, the base was declared a Superfund site requiring long-term clean-up. [8][9] The Navy closed the shipyard and Naval base in 1994. The Base Realignment and Closure program manages various pollution remediation projects.[7]

The Bayview-Hunters Point district served as the location for the coal and oil-fired power plants which provided electricity to San Francisco from 1929 until 2006. Smokestack effluvium and byproducts dumped in the vicinity have been cited for health and environmental problems in the neighborhood. In 1994, the San Francisco Energy Company proposed building another power plant in the neighborhood but community activists protested and pushed to have the current facility shut down.[10] In 2008, Pacific Gas and Electric Company demoslished the plant and began a two-year remediation project to restore the land for residential development.[11]

By the 1960s, the Bayview-Hunters Point urban neighborhoods had become increasingly segregated from San Francisco and were composed predominantly of African-Americans and other racial minorities. Pollution, substandard housing, declining infrastructure, limited employment and racial discrimination became noted problems. James Baldwin documented the marginalization of the community in a 1963 documentary stating "this is the San Francisco, America pretends does not exist."[5][12] Closure of the naval shipyard, shipbuilding facilities and de-industrialization of the district in the 1970s and 1980s increased unemployment and local poverty levels.[5]

Citywide gentrification during the late 1990s into the 2000s affected the neighborhood as many of its long time residents moved to the suburbs of the East Bay Area, leaving only the very poor, while a new population moved in, consisting mostly of Chinese, Korean and Hispanic immigrants, as well as a small population of young urban professionals. {{citation}}: Empty citation (help)

In the 2000s, the neighborhood became the target of several redevelopment projects. The T Third Street light rail project was built through the neighborhood and added a station, street lamps and landscaping. Private developer Lennar Inc. proposed a $2 billion project to build 10,500 homes and commercial spaces atop the former Hunters Point Naval Shipyard. A potential new football stadium for the San Francisco 49'ers and a shopping complex were also proposed for Candlestick Point which would reinvigorate the distict, but the 49ers changed their focus to Santa Clara in 2006. A bid for the 2016 Summer Olympics in San Francisco that included plans to build an Olympic Village in Bayview-Hunters Point was also dropped.[13] Lennar Inc. proposed to build the stadium without the football team.Selna, Robert (November 10, 2006). "49ERS ON THE MOVE / Stadium plan stuns and disappoints / HUNTERS POINT: Area residents see York's decision as one more broken promise". San Francisco Chronicle.</ref> Local community activist groups have criticized much of the redevelopment for displacing rather than benefiting neighborhood residents. [5]

Demographics

According to the 2010 Census, Bayview-Hunters Point has a population of 35,890, an increase of 7.6% from 2000. According to the 2009 American Community Survey (ACS), the racial composition of Bayview-Hunters Point is 33% Asian, 32% African-American, 12% White, 3% Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander 1% Native American and %20 Other (or Mixed race). 25% of Bayview's population was of Hispanic or Latino origin, of any race.[14]

According to the 2010 ACS, Bayview-Hunters Point had the highest percentage of African-Americans among San Francisco neighborhoods, however, it was no longer the predominant ethnic group, having been surpassed by the Asian population. Census figures showed the percentage of African-Americans in Bayview declined from 48% in 2000 to 32% in 2010 while the percentage of Asian and White ethnicity increased from 24% and 10%, respectively, to 32% and 12%, respectively.

Marginalization

Since the 1960s, the Bayview-Hunters Point community has been cited as a significant example of marginalization.[5] In 2011, it remained "one of the most economically disadvantaged areas of San Francisco".[15] Root causes include a working class populace historically segregated to the outskirts of the city, high levels of industrial pollution, the closure of industry and loss of infrastructure.[5] The results have been high rates of unemployment, poverty, disease and crime.[16][5]

The area's extensive toxic waste pollution has been cited for elevated rates of asthma and other respiratory diseases among residents.[17]

Gang and drug activity, as well as a high murder rate, have plagued the Bayview-Hunters Point district.[18] A 2001 feature article in the San Francisco Chronicle cited feuding between small local gangs as the major cause of the area's unsolved homicides.[16] In 2011, the New York Times described Bayview as "one of the city’s most violent" neighborhoods.[19]

Until the late 2000s the neighborhood had no supermarket chains, as many corporate chains could not afford to lease a retail space.[20] In 2011, San Francisco official described the area as a "a food desert - an area with limited access to affordable, nutritious food like fresh produce at a full-size grocery store."[21] A Home Depot was approved by the city to be built in the area, but the Home Depot Corporation abandoned its plans following the late 2000s economic crisis.[22] In August 2011, UK supermarket chain Tesco, owner of Fresh and Easy stores, opened Bayview-Hunters Point's first new grocery store in 20 years.[21]

The neighborhood was the subject of a 2001 documentary, Straight Outta Hunters Point, about the modern disintegration of Bayview-hunters point. The Spike Lee film Sucker Free City used Hunters Point as a backdrop for a story on gentrification and street gangs.[23]

Community activism

A number of community groups, such as the India Basin Neighborhood Association,[24] the Quesada Gardens Initiative [3], Literacy for Environmental Justice [4], the Bayview Merchants' Association [5], and the Bayview Footprints Collaboration of Community-Building Groups [6] work with community members, other organizations and city-wide agencies to strengthen and improve this diverse part of San Francisco.

Community gardening is popular in the area.

Hunters Point Shipyard development

Hunters Point Shipyard is a redevelopment project by Lennar Corporation for more than 700 acres of Candlestick Point and the San Francisco Naval Shipyard.[25] The plan calls for 10,500 residential units, a new stadium to replace Candlestick Park, 3,700,000 square feet (340,000 m2) of commercial and retail space,an 8,000- to 10,000-square-foot (930 m2) arena; artists’ village and 336 acres of waterfront park and recreational area.[26] The project is expected to contribute up to 12,000 permanent jobs and 13,000 induced jobs.[27]

The approval process required developers to address concerns by area residents and San Francisco government officials. Criticism of the project focused on the large-scale toxic clean-up of the industrial site, environmental impact of waterfront construction, displacement of an impoverished neighborhood populace and a required build-up to solve transportation needs.[26]

In July 2010, Lennar Corporation received initial approval of an Environmental Impact Report from San Francisco supervisors.[27] On November 12, 2010 the project’s draft Environmental Impact Report for Phase II of the project was released to the public.[28]
