No chance for improvement. New buildings follow better building codes, such as the tall ones that may sway like Japanese skyscrapers, old buildings have no mandate to improve, and San Francisco was mostly built after the 1906 earthquake, with many of the walkups that litter the view being in the 1920s - 1940s.
From my understanding, any hope you might have is neglecting a reality that an overdue earthquake will cause devastation largely reserved for the third world.
