It's hard to imagine SF being affected by this that much anytime soon. I can imagine the Marina and places like that having issues, but SF itself is so tall and there's so much hard rock everywhere.
But I don't know much about the Sunset or the Richmond so I guess you could speak better to that. I live near Twin Peaks.

Or are you saying this past makes it more susceptible to bay/ocean encroachment in the future? I'm no civil engineer so this is totally out of my realm of knowledge. Also, I guess I'm lucky to live on one of the highest points in the city.
