'''Bayview–Hunters Point''' (sometimes spelled '''Bay View''' or '''Bayview''') is the [[San Francisco]], California, neighborhood combining the '''Bayview''' and '''Hunters Point''' neighborhoods in the southeastern corner of the city. The decommissioned [[Hunters Point Naval Shipyard]] is located within its boundaries and [[Candlestick Park]], which was demolished in 2015, was on the southern edge. Due to the South East location, the two neighborhoods are often merged. Bayview–Hunter's Point has been labeled as San Francisco's "Most Isolated Neighborhood".<ref name="History of Bayview Hunters Point">{{cite web |title=History of Bayview Hunters Point |url=https://bvoh.org/culturehub/history-bvhp/ |website=bvoh.org |date=5 July 2017 |publisher=BVOH |access-date=1 July 2020}}</ref>
[[Redevelopment]] projects for the neighborhood became the dominant issue of the 1990s, 2000s and 2010s. Efforts include the Bayview Redevelopment Plan for Area B, which includes approximately 1300 acres of existing residential, commercial and industrial lands. This plan identifies seven economic activity nodes within the area. The former Navy Shipyard waterfront property is also the target of redevelopment to include residential, commercial, and recreational areas.<ref>{{cite news |last=Upton |first=John |date=June 3, 2010 |title=Hunters Point Naval Shipyard development Faces Vote |url=https://www.sfexaminer.com/news/hunters-point-naval-shipyard-development-faces-vote/ |work=[[The San Francisco Examiner]] |access-date=13 August 2013 }}</ref>

==Geography==
The Bayview–Hunters Point districts are located in the southeastern part of San Francisco, strung along the main artery of [[Third Street (San Francisco)|Third Street]] from [[India Basin]] to Candlestick Point. The boundaries are Cesar Chavez Boulevard to the north, U.S. Highway 101 ([[Bayshore Freeway]]) to the west, [[Bayview Park, San Francisco|Bayview Hill]] to the south, and the [[San Francisco Bay]] to the east. Neighborhoods within the district include Hunters Point, India Basin, Bayview, Silver Terrace, Bret Harte, Islais Creek Estuary and South Basin. The entire southern half of the neighborhood is the [[Candlestick Point|Candlestick Point State Recreation Area]] as well as the Candlestick Park Stadium<ref name="Survey">{{cite journal | title=Bayview–Hunters Point: Area B Survey | url=http://www.sanfranciscohistory.com/BVHP_Context.pdf | publisher=San Francisco Redevelopment Agency | page=4 |date=11 February 2010}}</ref> which was demolished in 2015.
==History==
=== The Ohlone people ===
[[File:Ohlone People.gif|thumb|right|The [[Ohlone|Ohlone people]]]]
Primarily composed of tidal wetlands with some small hills, the area was inhabited by the [[Yelamu]] and [[Ramaytush]] [[Ohlone]] people prior to the arrival of [[Spain|Spanish]] missionaries in the 1700s. The district consisted of what the Ohlone people called "shell mounds", which were sacred burial grounds. The Spanish called them, ''Costanoans'', or "coast dwellers". The land was later colonized in 1775 by [[Juan Bautista Aguirre]],<ref name="Scott">{{cite book | first=Mel | last=Scott | title=The San Francisco Bay Area: A Metropolis in Perspective | publisher=University of California Press |date=September 1985 | edition=2nd | page=8 | isbn=978-0-520-05512-4}}</ref> a ship pilot for Captain [[Juan Manuel de Ayala]] who named it La Punta Concha (English: Conch Point).<ref name="O'Brien"/> Later explorers renamed it Beacon Point.<ref name="Dillon">{{cite journal | first=Lindsey | last=Dillon | date=2 August 2011 | publisher=Institute for the Study of Social Change, UC Berkeley | title=Redevelopment and the Politics of Place in Bayview–Hunters Point | url=http://escholarship.org/uc/item/9s15b9r2;jsessionid=222A61AFAF70681B45B02DF80BA01EB9#page-9 | pages=9–34}}</ref> For the next several decades it was used as pasture for cattle run by the [[Franciscan Order|Franciscan friars]] at [[Mission Dolores]].<ref name="O'Brien">{{cite book | first=Tricia | last=O'Brien | title=San Francisco's Bayview Hunters Point | publisher=Arcadia Publishing | date=August 1, 2005 | pages=7–9 | isbn=978-0-7385-3007-9}}</ref>
[[File:Choris Ohlone.jpg|thumb|left|Ohlone women painted by [[Louis Choris]], which reads ''Habitants de Californie'']]
In 1839, the area was part of the {{convert|4446|acre|km2|adj=on}} [[Rancho Rincon de las Salinas y Potrero Viejo]] [[Ranchos of California|Mexican land grant]] given to José Cornelio Bernal (1796–1842). Following the [[California Gold Rush]], Bernal sold what later became the Bayview–Hunters Point area for real estate development in 1849. Little actual development occurred but Bernal's agents were three brothers, John, Phillip and Robert Hunter, who built their homes and dairy farm on the land (then near the present-day corner of Griffith Street and Oakdale Avenue) and who gave rise to the name '''Hunters Point'''.<ref name="O'Brien"/> In 1850, Hunter began trying to sell lots in an entirely new city called "South San Francisco" on the peninsula that now bears his name. Physically isolated from the rest of the city by both Mission Bay and the Islais Creek estuary, the only way to get to Hunters Point aside from sailing was via the San Bruno Road, completed in 1858.<ref>{{cite web |title=1849-1868 The Hunter Family |url=https://bayview-hunterspoint.org/bvhp-historical-society |website=bayview-hunterspoint |publisher=bayview-hunterspoint.org |access-date=14 February 2021}}</ref>
The Bayview–Hunters Point district was labelled "Southern San Francisco" on some maps, not to be confused with the city of [[South San Francisco]] further to the south.
; Islais Creek and "Sacred Sites"
The Muwekma Ohlone held and still hold Islais Creek by 3rd Street and Marin in the Bayview as one of fifty, "sacred sites". Islais Creek and the adjoining bay has been heavily polluted.<ref>{{cite web |last1=De Costa |first1=Francisco |title=THE MUWEKMA OHLONE AND BAYVIEW |url=http://www.franciscodacosta.com/articles/bayview_ohlone.html |website=www.franciscodacosta.com/ |publisher=Francisco De Costa |access-date=24 June 2020}}</ref>  Of the original approximately 1500 people who inhabited the San Francisco Peninsula prior to the [[Portola Expedition]] in 1769, only one lineage is known to have survived. Their descendants form the four branches of the Ramaytush Ohlone peoples today.
===Industrial development===
After a San Francisco ordinance in 1868 banned the slaughter and processing of animals within the city proper, a group of butchers established a "butchers reservation" on {{convert|81|acre|km2|adj=on}} of tidal marshland in the Bayview district. Within ten years, 18 slaughterhouses were located in the area along with their associated production facilities for tanning, fertilizer, wool and tallow. The "reservation" (then bounded by present-day Ingalls Street, Third Street, from Islais Creek to Bayshore) and the surrounding houses and businesses became known as Butchertown.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web|last=Guerrero|first=Susana|date=2022-01-25|title=SF's long-forgotten slaughterhouse district was in the Bayview|url=https://www.sfgate.com/food/history/article/Butchertown-was-San-Francisco-slaughterhouses-16749759.php|access-date=2022-01-27|website=SFGATE|language=en-US}}</ref> By 1888, the city cracked down on the slaughterhouse district due to a [[diphtheria]] outbreak and a need for better sanitation.<ref name=":1" /> The city inspectors found under the slaughterhouses a foul smell, the decay of animal parts, and live pigs.<ref name=":1" /> The butcher industry declined following the [[1906 San Francisco earthquake]] until 1971 when the final slaughterhouse closed.<ref>{{cite journal | first=Conor | last=Casey | url=http://foundsf.org/index.php?title=Butchertown%27s_Beginnings | title=San Francisco's "Butchertown" in the 1920s and 1930s: A Neighborhood Social History (Volume 18, Number 1)| journal=The Argonaut | issue=Spring | year=2007}}</ref>
From 1929 until 2006 the Bayview–Hunters Point district were home for the coal and oil-fired power plants which provided electricity to San Francisco. Smokestack effluvium and byproducts dumped in the vicinity have been cited for health and environmental problems in the neighborhood. In 1994, the San Francisco Energy Company proposed building another power plant in the neighborhood, but community activists protested and pushed to have the current facility shut down.<ref>{{cite journal | journal=Hastings W.-Nw.

===Shrimping industry===
From 1870 to the 1930s, shrimping industries developed as Chinese immigrants begin to operate most of the shrimp companies. By the 1930s, there were a dozen shrimp operations in Bayview. In 1939 when the U.S. Navy took over the land under eminent domain for the Naval Shipyard. The Health Department came in and burned the shacks and docks that once provided a small village of fishermen and their families a steady living in the abundant shrimp harvest from the San Francisco Bay.<ref name="History of Bayview Hunters Point"/>
===Shipyard===

Shipbuilding became integral to Bayview–Hunters Point in 1867 with the construction there of the first permanent [[drydock]] on the Pacific coast. The Hunters Point Dry Docks were greatly expanded by [[Union Iron Works]] and [[Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corporation]] and were capable of housing the largest ships that could pass through the locks of the Panama Canal. World War I increased the contracts there for building Naval vessels and, in 1940, the United States Navy purchased a section of property to develop the [[San Francisco Naval Shipyard]]. Beginning in the 1920s, a strong presence of Maltese American immigrants, along with Italian Americans, began populating the Bayview, focused on the local Catholic St. Paul of the Shipwreck Church and the Maltese American Social Club. They were a presence until the 1960s when they began moving into the suburbs.
The shipbuilding industry saw a large influx of [[blue collar]] workers into the neighborhood, many of them [[African Americans]] taking part in the [[Great Migration (African American)|Great Migration]]. This migration into Bayview increased substantially after [[World War II]] due to [[racial segregation]] and eviction of African Americans from homes elsewhere in the city.<ref name="Mack">{{cite journal | url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/50421198 | title=The Bayview Hunters Point Foundation for Community Improvement: A Pioneering Multi-Ethnic Human Service Organization (1971–2008) | first1=Ellen | last1=Joe | first2=Sara L. | last2=Schwartz | first3=Michael J. | last3=Austin | journal=Journal of Evidence-Based Social Work | volume=8 | issue=1–2 | pages=235–52 | publisher=Mack Center on Nonprofit Management in the Human Services | location=University of California, Berkeley | year=2008 | pmid=21416440 | doi=10.1080/15433714.2011.540458 | s2cid=205888979 }}</ref> Between 1940 and 1950, the population of Bayview saw a fourfold increase to 51,000 residents.<ref>{{cite journal | url=http://journalism.berkeley.edu/ngno/reports/bayview/bvhp_6_1206.html | title=A Brief History of Bayview–Hunters Point | series=Profile:Bayview Hunters Point | first=Amy | last=Jeffries | year=2006 | publisher=UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism | url-status=dead | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110610100524/http://journalism.berkeley.edu/ngno/reports/bayview/bvhp_6_1206.html | archive-date=2011-06-10 }}</ref> The Hunter's Point shipyard at its peak employed 17,000 people.<ref>{{cite book |title=Infinite City: A San Francisco Atlas |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=BYAkDQAAQBAJ&q=Tupac+visited+Bayview+Hunters+Point&pg=PA58 |isbn = 9780520262492|access-date=29 June 2020|last1 = Solnit|first1 = Rebecca|date = 29 November 2010| publisher=Univ of California Press }}</ref> One function of HPS was the loading of components of the atomic weapon "Little Boy" that was eventually used on Hiroshima.

The USS Indianapolis left Hunters Point at 6:30 am on July 16, 1945, but was not allowed to leave San Francisco's harbor until 8:30 am, after the first atomic weapon test "Trinity" (5:29 am) had been confirmed successful in the New Mexico desert.<ref>{{cite web |title=HIROSHIMA AND BIKINI ATOLL |url=https://www.arthousesf.com/blogs/news/hunters-point-san-francisco |website=www.arthousesf.com |date=31 July 2019 |publisher=ArtHouse SF |access-date=22 January 2022}}</ref> In 1947, the [[Hunter's Point crane]] was constructed at the shipyard to repair battleships.

====Environmental impact report====
On January 10, 2010, [[Ohlone]] representatives, Ann Marie Sayers, [[Corrina Gould]], Charlene Sul, and Carmen Sandoval, Ohlone Profiles Project, American Indian Movement West and [[International Indian Treaty Council]] penned a letter to then mayor of San Francisco, [[Gavin Newsom]], about preserving the Ohlone historical sites at the Candlestick Point–Hunters Point shipyard stating "This is an important opportunity to work together to protect these ancient historical sites, honor our ancestors and insure that development pressures do not further damage critical Ohlone Indigenous sites, the sites affected by the development are extremely significant and are believed to be burial or ceremonial sites, in addition to protecting these sites, we also want to work with the local community to protect their health, the land and the fragile Bay marine environment."<ref>{{cite web |title=Ohlone people to SF Planning Dept: Follow the law, protect ancient village sites at Candlestick Point, Hunters Point Shipyard |url=http://sfbayview.com/2010/01/ohlone-people-to-sf-planning-dept-follow-the-law-protect-ancient-village-sites-at-candlestick-point-hunters-point-shipyard/ |website=www.sfbayview.com |date=12 January 2010 |publisher=San Francisco Bay View |access-date=30 July 2018}}</ref>

=== Italian, Portuguese, and Maltese community development ===
Upon late 1800s settlement, there were many Italian, Maltese, and Portuguese home-builders, ranchers and truck farmers in the Bayview from 1890 to 1910.<ref>{{cite web |title=Historical Overview |url=http://www.bayview-hunterspoint.com/bayview-history.html |website=bayview-hunterspoint |publisher=bayview-hunterspoint.com |access-date=16 February 2021}}</ref> The growing population of Italian, Maltese, and Portuguese residents seemingly pushed out the early Chinese community that was located in the Bayview.
=== African-American community development ===
==== Redlining reports ====
In the 1930s, the distribution of race and income in the neighborhood was fairly even. Two [[redlining]] reports from this time characterize the residential makeup of the area as lower-income: that is, residents were either "white collar" workers or factory laborers who had jobs in the vicinity. While "many of the inhabitants [were] from foreign extraction, no racial problem [was] presented." Poverty in the neighborhood was widely attributed to the depression.<ref>{{cite web |title=Bayview-Hunters Point Timeline |url=https://antievictionmap.com/bayview-hunters-point/ |website=Anti Eviction Map |access-date=20 February 2021}}</ref> In 1937, the Home Owner's Loan Corporation made a redlining map to determine which San Francisco neighborhoods should receive loans for mortgages and general housing investment. Two districts in the Bayview Hunters Point received the two lowest possible grades. This lack of investment made it much harder for the area to rebound from the depression, and also made it very difficult for people trying to purchase new homes in the area.<ref>{{cite web |title=Final Environmental Impact Statement for the Disposal and Reuse of Hunters Point |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=YPdHAQAAIAAJ&q=bayview-hunters+point+had+a+movie+theater&pg=RA1-SL4-PA27 |website=Google Books |year = 2000|access-date=26 June 2020}}</ref> In 1942, to address the housing shortage issue, the federal government built 5,500 'temporary' housing units in the area for the families of shipyard workers. As a result, Hunters Point began as one of the most integrated areas in the city. Toward the end of WWII, the San Francisco Housing Authority pushed for the hiring of an all-white police force to govern the neighborhood. Many of the officers were recruited from the segregated south. From this point onwards, racial discrimination – in terms of the environment, housing, employment, and policing – shaped the development of the Bayview Hunters Point and further contributed to its segregation from the rest of the city.
By the 1950s and 1960s, the Bayview was a predominantly African-American neighborhood that housed a movie theater along the Third Street corridor, as well as a library, a gymnasium at the time, Cub scouts through "Rec and Park" as well as youth baseball teams such as "The Blue Diamonds" of Innes [Street].
====Racial tensions====
[[File:Robert F. Kennedy 1964.jpeg|thumb|right|160px|[[Robert F. Kennedy]] visited the Bayview in 1967 to discuss poverty with activist Ruth Williams of the [[Big Five of Bayview]].]]
By the 1960s, the Bayview and Hunters Point neighborhoods were populated predominantly by African-Americans and other racial minorities, and the area was isolated from the rest of San Francisco. Pollution, substandard housing, declining infrastructure, limited employment and racial discrimination were notable problems. [[James Baldwin]] documented the marginalization of the community in a 1963 documentary, "Take This Hammer", stating, "this is the San Francisco America pretends does not exist."<ref name="Dillon"/><ref>KQED, 1963, [https://diva.sfsu.edu/bundles/187041 ''Take This Hammer''], San Francisco Bay Are Area Television Archives</ref> On September 27, 1966, [[Hunters Point social uprising (1966)|a race riot]] occurred at Hunters Point,<ref>{{cite book | first1=Walter C. | last1=Rucker | first2=James N. | last2=Upton | title=Encyclopedia of American Race Riots | pages=583–4 | publisher=Greenwood | date=November 30, 2006 | isbn=978-0-313-33301-9}}</ref> sparked by the killing of a 16-year-old fleeing from a police officer.

In 2004 [[Bill Cosby]] visited the Bayview-Hunter's Point school, Charles Drew Elementary where he railed against students and parents, criticizing them by saying "they must invest in their children's education before they wind up teenage moms, jail inmates, drug dealers—or dead." In his speech—which was a topic of debate on conservative talk radio, on cable TV networks and in African American neighborhoods—Cosby lambasted low-income blacks for spending $500 on their children's shoes, but not spending $250 on the educational tool [[Hooked on Phonics]]. He furthered his statements by saying "I am talking about these people who cry when their son is standing there in an orange suit," he said in May. "Where were you when he was 2? Where were you when he was 12? Where were you when he was 18, and how come you didn't know that he had a pistol? And where is the father? ... You can't keep saying that God will find a way. God is tired of you." Then San Francisco schools chief [[Arlene Ackerman]] wrote a letter to Cosby shortly after the speech, inviting him to visit one of her three new "Dream Schools", low-performing public schools overhauled to include long school days, Saturday school, mandatory student uniforms, a more rigorous curriculum and required contracts signed by parents pledging to be involved in their children's education. He derided African Americans for wearing saggy pants, speaking improper English and giving children names like "Shaniqua, Shaligua, Mohammed and all that crap."
After his visit, Cosby praised the school, but he stressed that it was parents—not just the schools themselves—who needed to step up to ensure their children beat the statistics. "Parents are 99 percent," he said. "School districts don't parent. They teach."<ref>{{cite web |last1=Knight |first1=Heather |title=Comedian's call to action -- 'love, education and care' / Cosby brings message of accountability to Bayview-Hunters Point |url=https://www.sfgate.com/education/article/Comedian-s-call-to-action-love-education-and-2630670.php#taboola-2 |website=SFGate.com |date=10 December 2004 |publisher=SF Gate |access-date=18 March 2022}}</ref>

According to the 2010 U.S. Census, Bayview–Hunters Point had the highest percentage of African-Americans among San Francisco neighborhoods, home to 21.5% of the city's Black population, and they were the predominant ethnic group in the Bayview. Census figures showed the percentage of African-Americans in Bayview declined from 48% in 2000 to 33.7% in 2010, while the percentage of Asian and White ethnicity increased from 24% and 10%, respectively, to 30.7% and 12.1%. However the eastern part of the neighborhood had a population of 12,308 and is still roughly 53% African-American.
A recent Brookings Institution report identified Hunters Point as one of five Bay Area "extreme poverty" neighborhoods, in which over 40% of the inhabitants live below the [[Federal poverty level]] of an income of $22,300 for a family of four.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.brookings.edu/%7E/media/Files/rc/papers/2011/1103_poverty_kneebone_nadeau_berube/1103_poverty_kneebone_nadeau_berube.pdf |title=Archived copy |access-date=2011-11-08 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120125141343/http://www.brookings.edu/~/media/Files/rc/papers/2011/1103_poverty_kneebone_nadeau_berube/1103_poverty_kneebone_nadeau_berube.pdf |archive-date=2012-01-25 }}</ref> Nearly 12% of the population in the Bayview receives public assistance income, three times the national average, and more than double the state average. While the Bayview has a higher percentage of the population receiving either Social Security or retirement income than the state or national averages, the dollar amounts that these people receive is less than the averages in either the state or the nation.

===Food Desert and Food Swamp===
The USDA defines a food desert as a region without access to nutritious, affordable and quality whole foods. Food deserts are areas with a 20 percent or greater poverty rate and where a third of residents live more than a mile from a supermarket, farmers market or local grocery store. In the "grocery gap", researchers from Food Trust found African Americans are 400 percent more likely to live in a community that lacks a full-service supermarket.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Porter Sumchai, MD |first1=Ahimsa |title=Navigating the toxic triangle in Bayview Hunters Point |url=https://sfbayview.com/2020/10/navigating-the-toxic-triangle-in-bayview-hunters-point/ |website=www.sfbayview.com |date=22 October 2020 |publisher=SF Bayview |access-date=10 February 2022}}</ref>

In 2011 Hunter's Point was labelled as the [[United States]]' top 9 worst food deserts<ref>{{cite web |title=America's Worst 9 Urban Food Deserts |url=https://newsone.com/1540235/americas-worst-9-urban-food-deserts/ |website=newsone.com |date=22 September 2011 |publisher=NewsOne |access-date=10 February 2022}}</ref> in that same year the Bayview District welcomed Fresh & Easy, an upstart grocery chain owned by British food giant [[Tesco]]. The Bayview location delivered weak sales, but it was hardly alone: Tesco sold most of the stores and closed the rest in 2013, and the chain soon disappeared into bankruptcy. The store sat empty for a few years while former Supervisor [[Malia Cohen]] worked with former mayor [[Ed Lee|Mayor Ed Lee]] and the Office of Economic and Workforce Development (OEWD) on finding a new owner. They landed on Howard and Amanda Ngo. With a $250,000 investment from OEWD and $4.1 million from the Small Business Administration, the couple hosted the grand opening for their second Duc Loi's Pantry at 5800 Third Street in 2016. But the store closed in 2019 due to a range of factors.
In October 2021 it was made public that a first-of-its-kind "food empowerment market" would be placed in at Third and McKinnon where the former Doc Loi Pantry and Fresh & Easy grocery store had been. The idea is a community market that would distribute donated or subsidized food—but unlike a food bank, eligible shoppers would be able to pick and choose their own groceries and either pay for the goods at a subsidized price or obtain them for free. The market would also host an on-site community kitchen focusing on culinary education and offer free delivery service for seniors and those with mobility issues. ''The Food Empowerment Market'' idea stems from legislation introduced by District 11 Supervisor [[Ahsha Safaí|Ahsha Safai]] that allocates $1.5 million in startup funds from the Human Service Agency to establish the model for the new market in partnership with a yet-to-be-named neighborhood nonprofit. Bayview-Hunters Pointhas the highest rates of obesity in San Francisco with less than five percent of food sold in the neighborhood consisting of fresh produce. The neighborhood also has the most residents (mainly seniors) facing food insecurity than anywhere else in the city, according to a report from the San Francisco Department of Public Health.<ref>{{cite web |title=What are Food Deserts? |url=https://www.eachgreencorner.org/2020/08/13/what-is-a-food-desert/ |website=www.eachgreencorner.org |date=13 August 2020 |publisher=Each Green Corner |access-date=10 February 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Mitchell |first1=Meaghan |title=Food Empowerment: A New Kind of Grocery Store May Come to the Bayview |url=https://sfstandard.com/community/a-new-kind-of-grocery-store-may-come-to-the-bayview/ |website=sfstandard.com |date=26 October 2021 |publisher=SF Standard |access-date=10 February 2022}}</ref>
District 10 supervisor [[Shamann Walton]] supports the idea, stating it would provide residents with unprecedented healthy choices, and that he's hopeful The City will get behind any deal struck between the current owners of the vacant space and the Human Services Agency. This project would really focus on seniors and families as well, [[Latin America|Latino]] and [[Black people|Black]] seniors are twice as likely to be [[food insecure]] in San Francisco, according to The City's [[COVID-19]] Command Center report. Many of them live in Bayview-Hunters Point and historically have low rates of enrollment in distribution and food delivery programs, making them hard to reach. Families experience the risks of living in a food desert early and intensely. Nearly 27% of pregnant Latina mothers and 20% of Black mothers in San Francisco do not know where their next healthy meal is coming from. Children from those same families are also the most likely to consume fast food than their white peers. Any and all efforts to combat food insecurity should focus on seniors and families, two groups especially vulnerable to food insecurity, advocates and officials say.

The original Anna E. Waden Bayview Branch Library was opened as a storefront facility in 1927. It was the 13th branch in the San Francisco Public Library system, replacing a "library station" that had been established in 1921. In 1969, a red brick building was built on the corner of 3rd Street and Revere Avenue in the Bayview-Hunters Point district. With a bequest from Anna E. Waden, a clerical employee of the City of San Francisco. Miss Waden's gift of $185,700 paid for the development of this cooperative community project. The building was completed in February 1969, and the formal dedication took place on July 12, 1969. The architect was [[John Savage Bolles|John S. Bolles]] & Associates and the contractor was Nibbi Brothers. The façade included a sculpture by Jacques Overhoff.<ref>{{cite web |title=Bayview/Linda Brooks-Burton Branch Library |url=https://www.sfpublicworks.org/project/bayviewlinda-brooks-burton-branch-library |website=www.sfpublicworks.org |publisher=Public Works |access-date=20 February 2021}}</ref> Linda Brooks Burton, born and raised in the Bayview was the Managing Librarian at the Bayview branch for 15 years before promotion to District Manager. She worked for the SF Public Library for 30 years total. Brooks-Burton was the driving force and central champion behind the new branch library building project. At the branch library, Linda co-founded the African American History Preservation Project in 2007 to create digital archives about a vanishing piece of local history as well as collected and recorded information about the migration of blacks to jobs at the Hunters Point Shipyard and the culture that developed in the area. And co-founded the Bayview Footprints Network of Community Building Groups in 2008. Bayview Footprints brought together dozens of community groups that tell the story of the Bayview online. Officials with the library system said Brooks-Burton was an advocate for education, youth and families. She served on the Bayview community boards of [[Whitney Young]] Child Development Center (now FACES SF) and Healing Arts Youth Center and all six branches in the South East. Brooks-Burton passed away Sept. 19, 2013, from a sudden heart attack and some residents had been calling for the branch to be named after her following her death. Library officials said Brooks-Burton was a "tireless community champion" and officials called her the quiet champion behind the effort to build a new branch library in the Bayview. The Anna E. Waden Library finished construction in 2013, it was renamed in honor of Linda Brooks-Burton in 2015 and is located at Third Street and Revere.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://sfpl.org/index.php?pg=0100000401 |title=Bayview :: San Francisco Public Library |publisher=Sfpl.org |date=2011-04-02 |access-date=2012-12-31}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Burbank |first1=Keith |title=Bayview library relaunches as Linda Brooks-Burton Branch |url=https://sfbayca.com/2015/03/27/bayview-library-relaunches-as-linda-brooks-burton-branch/ |website=sfbayca.com |date=28 March 2015 |publisher=SF Bay CA |access-date=10 February 2022}}</ref> The building cladding is also inspired by African textile designs.

====Redevelopment of Hunters Point Naval Shipyard and environmental racism====
In 2016, [[Tetra Tech]], the firm in charge of overseeing the cleanup of toxic material on the naval base, was charged with negligence. In response, the Navy was forced to momentarily cease transferring shipyard land to Lennar for redevelopment. [[Hunters Point Naval Shipyard]] was a redevelopment project being spearheaded by [[Lennar]] on the 702 acres at [[Candlestick Point]] and the [[San Francisco Naval Shipyard]].<ref>{{cite news |title=The Grand Plan And Aesthetics For Candlestick/Hunters Point |url=https://socketsite.com/archives/2009/11/candlestick_pointhunters_point_shipyard_phase_ii_develo.html |website=SocketSite |date=November 12, 2009}}</ref> The plan called for 10,500 residential units, a new stadium to replace [[Candlestick Park]], {{convert|3700000|sqft|m2}} of commercial and retail space, an 8,000- to {{convert|10000|sqft|m2|adj=on}} arena; artists' village and 336 acres of waterfront park and recreational area.<ref name="NYTIMES">{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/30/us/30sflennar.html?ref=lennar_corporation |title=Vision for Transforming Hunters Point Comes Before Supervisors |first=Richard | last=Paddock | work=[[The New York Times]]

The approval process required developers to address concerns of area residents and San Francisco government officials.

Partnered with the office of Supervisor of District 10 [[Malia Cohen]] and Bayview Underground, ''I am Bayview'' helmed by creative George McCalman and photographer Jason Madara created a series of images of photographed community members to visually communicate gentrification. George states that if "one is going to move into a neighborhood, you should get to know the people who live there, not simply displace an existing community. Gentrification is a hot button issue in San Francisco. This was our visual response. Twenty-nine posters are now installed along the 3rd Street corridor of the Dogpatch and Bayview, capturing the Bayview residents who represent their neighborhood proudly."<ref>{{cite web |title=I AM BAYVIEW |url=http://www.mccalman.co/portfolio/i-am-bayview/ |website=mccalman.co |publisher=George McCalum |access-date=20 June 2018}}</ref>

====Pan-African flags====
In 2017, Supervisor [[Malia Cohen]] and the city of San Francisco "tagged" Third Street poles with [[Pan-African flag|red, black and green stripes]] in honor of [[Black History Month]] and to honor Black residents' heritage in Bayview–Hunters Point.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Mitchell|first1=Meaghan|date=January 31, 2017|title=Third Street poles get red, black & green stripes in honor of Bayview's Black heritage|url=http://sfbayview.com/2017/01/third-street-poles-get-red-black-green-stripes-in-honor-of-bayviews-black-heritage/|access-date=15 July 2018|website=www.sfbayview.com|publisher=The Bay View}}</ref> Cohen issued a statement issued a statement explaining the reasoning behind the painting: "The intention of painting the flagpoles is to create a unifying cultural marker for the Bayview, in the same vein as the Italian flags painted on poles in North Beach, the designation of Calle 24 in the Mission and the bilingual street signs and gates upon entering Chinatown. This is about branding the Bayview neighborhood to honor and pay respect to the decades of contributions that African-Americans have made to the southeast neighborhood and to the city. It's also beautification for the streetscape." Many neighbors were pleased to see the tribute to African-Americans' community legacy. Several early risers in the community took photos of the poles being painted, expressing their gratitude to Cohen.<ref>{{cite web |last1=M.

In the 1980s an artist named Brooke Fancher's mural titled "Tazuri Watu" was commissioned and completed in 1987, "Tazuri Watu" has covered the side of a building located at the intersection of 3rd and Palou for three decades. Over time, the historical work of art had faded, and vandals have defaced portions of it. Earl Shaddix, executive director of Economic Development on Third, called for its restoration. Shaddix applied for a $25,000 grant from the city through the District 10 Participatory Budgeting program, spearheaded by former Supervisor [[Malia Cohen]]'s office. The program allows residents of a few districts in San Francisco to vote on funding one-time neighborhood improvement projects. After a successful campaign, the city awarded the money in 2018, and planning for the restoration began.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Mitchell |first1=Meaghan |title=Restored Bayview mural Tuzuri Watu unveiled, following community effort to save it |url=https://hoodline.com/2019/09/restored-bayview-mural-tuzuri-watu-unveiled-following-community-effort-to-save-it/ |website=hoodline.com |date=19 September 2019 |publisher=Hood Line |access-date=14 February 2021}}</ref>

Its large-scale graphics make its primary images visible from a distance but when viewed up close, it reveals the abstract patterns from which those images are composed. At night, the imagery is animated with lighting effects to allow viewers to enjoy the work throughout the day.

The slope here is a hotspot of native habitat, so aficionados of plants and insects. The locals treat Hudson Street as a way of relieving the heavy traffic on Hunters Point Blvd and Innes Avenue. Another is Earl Street which runs along the fence separating the India Basin Open Space and some private properties from the former [[Hunters Point Naval Shipyard|Naval Base]].<ref>{{cite web |last1=Carlsson |first1=Chris |title=Ghost Streets of San Francisco |url=https://www.foundsf.org/index.php?title=Ghost_Streets_of_San_Francisco |website=foundsf.org |publisher=FoundSF}}</ref>

==Post offices==
[[File:Evan Street San Francisco USPS Post Office.jpg|thumb|160px|right|The Evans Street post office, one of the largest post offices in San Francisco]]
The Bayview currently has two major [[USPS]] offices, the second-largest branch (next to Napoleon Street) located on Evans Street, and a smaller branch on Williams Street.
The USPS in 2011 told Bayview postal employees, community leaders, and local politicians that the closure of Bayview's Williams location was "not in the plans" and "off the table". Months later, all Bayview postal customers were mailed official notifications of an impending closure. This stirred up controversy in the immediate community, sparking frustrations and outrage. From residents to politicians, many cited racial and social bias as the reasoning for the closure of the location. Residents were encouraged to use their voices and call local the local postmaster.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Carrier |first1=Letter |title=Bayview Post Office under attack once again |url=https://sfbayview.com/2011/10/bayview-post-office-under-attack-once-again/ |website=thesfbayview.com |date=18 October 2011 |publisher=The SF Bayview |access-date=19 February 2021}}</ref>
In 2012 postmaster Raj Sanghera announced that the Bayview Williams location was taken off the closure list, with other branches as well located in [[Visitacion Valley]], [[Civic Center, San Francisco|Civic Center]], McLaren Station, and San Bruno Avenue.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Welsh |first1=David |title=San Francisco post offices spared the ax |url=https://www.workers.org/2012/10/4606/ |website=Workers |date=15 October 2012 |publisher=Workers.org |access-date=28 June 2020}}</ref>
During the [[COVID pandemic]] in 2020, after calling for a #DontMessWithUSPS Day of Action and nearing the [[2020 election|November 2020 elections]], House Speaker [[Nancy Pelosi]] showed up at the Bayview Post Office in San Francisco on Williams Street to discuss her new bill funding the USPS and blocking the [[First presidency of Donald Trump|Trump administration]]'s overhaul of it. She also had won concessions on mail delivery.<ref>{{cite web |title=Pelosi Denounces Trump Administration's USPS Overhaul During Visit To Bayview Post Office In SF |url=https://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2020/08/18/pelosi-denounces-trump-administrations-usps-overhaul-during-visit-to-bayview-post-office-in-sf/ |website=sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com |date=18 August 2020 |publisher=CBS 5 |access-date=16 February 2021}}</ref> Pelosi accompanied with District 10 supervisor, Shamann Walton exclaimed that the Trump administration had been trying to "tamper" with the mail-in ballots by closing several post offices across the country.

==Transportation==
The Bayview is served by the [[Muni Metro|Muni]] bus and light rail system. [[Caltrain]] commuter rail service runs the eastern part of the neighborhood. The rail line formerly served the [[Paul Avenue station]] in the Bayview until it closed in 2005. The transportation system enables trips that are minutes to/from downtown being 1/2 mile from [[Hwy 101]] and [[Interstate 280 (California)|Interstate 280]], and 1.5 miles from [[Dogpatch, San Francisco|Dogpatch]] and [[UCSF Mission Bay campus|UCSF-Mission Bay]].
