Treasure Island, site of the 1939 Golden Gate Exposition |
The San Francisco Planning Commission has approved a plan to allow the development of Treasure Island, but the vote was close, 4-3.
I'm not sure this is a good idea and here's why:
- the island is man-made and not earthquake safe
- with rising ocean levels, why would you put it in the bay, it's going to be underwater by mid-century, anyway
- there is only one freeway entrance and exit, making bridge traffic a mess and evacuation in the event of a disaster nearly impossible
Don't even get me started with the toxic soil issues, don't even get me started. As a former naval base, you know that ground is a chemical nightmare.
