Bridges, Mission Creek Channel. © Copyright 2019 G Dan Mitchell – all rights reserved.
Bridge structures over the Mission Creek Channel, San Francisco.
This is (yet another!) part of San Francisco that is undergoing a rapid transformation as the real estate costs skyrocket and a new generation of quite wealthy people move into the City… and developers and businesses do what they do in response to these changes.
It wasn’t all that long ago that the location from which I made this photograph was not exactly a high rent district. It is along the CalTrain commuter track right-of-way at the end of a long inlet, the Mission Creek Channel. There are still a few house boats docked along the inlet but everything else around here is new or about to be new — with the exception of the freeway whose supports form the vertical component of this scene. In the distance along the left edge fo the frame many new condos and apartments are visible. Out of sight to the right is the Mission Bay Area, where in a few years empty lots disappeared and were replaced by — you guessed it! — more apartments and condos, plus various business and related concerns. If you want to see what San Francisco was… go soon!
