I'd add Hunter's Point to this list as it is being redeveloped right now - but that former Naval Shipyard has quite a story. Some details here: https://en.wiki

  In 2008, I looked at renting on Treasure Island, back when it was just starting to be developed from a derelict military base into a neighborhood. The townhomes being rented were the old military housing, in rows along the streets. One section, identical to others nearby being lived in, was fenced off with portable fences and a radiation hazard sign every 100 yards or so. The information was available at the time, but you had to go looking for it. Now that it is transferred to the city of SF and redevelopment is proceeding, I see a bunch of articles about it again. Needless to say, I didn't rent there. I ended up on the Peninsula, but a few weeks after moving in, I noticed there was an old gas station along El Camino Real that was fenced and had venting pipes and equipment--leaking gas tanks are no picnic either. https://www.google.com/search?q=treasure+island+radiation https://www.google.com/search?q=treasure+island+radiation
