Walking to Excelsior? Are you joking? I work in SoMA and live in Excelsior, and it takes me half an hour to bike each way. And I'm a relatively fast biker, in a good location with major roads near my house. Most of Excelsior is narrow roads on steep hills. Parking is one of my less favorite activities there. Bayview is not very pleasant. My friend's home was burglarized. My brother was mugged and his G1 stolen, back when that was the only Android phone. There are noisy trains and a smelly sewage treatment plant. There are reasons people aspire not to live there.
