Gotta say my 1st reaction was "Sheah but, it was pretty damned convenient!)
On reflection the new and beautiful delineation between the Wharfs and Piers is much more visually pleasing.

Wondering how long it will be before somebody buys Alcatraz, knocks down the old prison, and builds luxury condos.

Well, maybe. But the ugliest thing San Francisco ever saw is still Speaker of the House - Thanks to Ryan aborting the election in 2018 , and dragging 25 other RINO-GROPElites with him.

Drivers could now swoop off the Bay Bridge and find themselves on Broadway in North Beach and Chinatown in a matter of minutes.
Yeah, how dare residents and commuters want a less painful drive when journalists were there to whine about it.

From everything I hear, the City is much uglier now than it was back then.
To: Vendome
Most older cities got ruined by the new expressways.
The routes seem ill planned and often destroyed once beautiful neighborhoods. Walling off neighborhoods into ghettos which became slums and are now war zones

Long ago I was one of those residents. Getting from the North Beach area across the bridge to the East Bay was an effortless snap - a matter of minutes. Now it’s a nightmare.

Just once I’m gonna agree with SFGate.
That was a nasty looking freeway. In exactly the wrong place. Shoulda been a tunnel.
Current iteration is slow as you said, but far nicer.

Ryan aborting the election in 2018 , and dragging 25 other RINO-GROPElites with him. Thank you! Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person who realizes that the GOP threw the 2018 house election so they could let the dems take over the work of blocking Trump so they wouldn't have to keep explaining why they aren't doing anything they promised to but you should still donate to them.
It's a key point to realizing that they are rotten to the core and how much they really do loathe us.

I believe that SF is the only major city that you can’t drive through on an Interstate.

Isn’t that the most hideous structure sitting right on the freeway? How the hell did that get proposed and approved? Well anybody want to live in that? All that land on TI and they chose THAT spot?
BTW, have you tried Aracely Cafe on TI? Is a great spot.
