That's really sad. This attitude only developed in the last 20-30 years or so (dang carpetbaggers!). San Francisco and the whole Bay Area used to have an enormous military presence (especially Navy):

--NAS Moffett Field
--Hunters Point Naval Shipyard
--Mare Island
--Treasure Island
--NAS Alameda
--NAS Oakland
--Port Chicago Naval Magazine
--Oakland Naval Hospital
--Oakland Naval Supply Center
--Marine Corps Pacific Headquarters

All are gone now...

I was on a DDG when she was commissioned at Hunter's Point in 68. Now Hunter's Point is only a good place for a sailor guy to get mugged and killed.

Not to mention Hamilton Field and, best/worst of all, the Presidio.

Just damn.
