There is a long-term plan in place for that area, and phases of it such as the Schlage Lock Plant land reuse are already beginning, but in typical bay area governmental style it has taken far too long for the cities of San Francisco and Brisbane to come to an agreement and for construction to begin.
Re-use is complicated by needed environmental remediation, the town border cutting through the Baylands, and the (largely deserved) poor reputation of the nearby Viz as an unsafe and undesirable area. However, the land value is there, and construction could have come much faster if the local governments approach to housing development was not obstructionist first.
- kspaans 10y agoI bike to the Bayshore Caltrain station every morning and at the North end of the station they have started construction for something. There is a retaining wall put up and various heavy machinery moving earth around. And further up Geneva Ave, a 10-15 minute walk away there is a relatively new apartment complex with 'now leasing' signs.
