Too bad the Presidio of Monterey was turned into a national park. But the elimination of San Francisco might be beneficial (semi-sarc.)
With all due respect, are you sure about that?
I am pretty sure the Presidio in Monterrey is not a national park...

The Presidio of Monterey, located in Monterey, California, is an active US Army installation with historic ties to the Spanish colonial era. Currently it is the home of the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center (DLI-FLC). It is the last Presidio in California to have an active military installation.
I stand corrected. I confused the Presidio of San Francisco, which was turned into a National Park with the Presidio of Montery. “1994: Sixth Army was inactivated and the Presidio closed as an active U.S. Army installation per BRAC. The Presidio was transferred to the National Park Service.
1996: Park becomes privatized through congressional action.”

Fort Ord was also closed in 1994, it would probably have been where a THAAD battery could have been posted vice the Presidio of San Francisco because of more space.
The only available space on Presidio of S.F. appears to have been where the golf course was located.
