Some great pictures of the Hunters Point Shipyard. When the dry docks that once held battleships and aircraft carriers are turned into quaint marinas, I wonder how much thought will be given to the history of the place. When signs are posted on the perimeter of an open stretch of grass warning people not to disturb the soil, I wonder how many people will remember that it’s because of the decaying radium that was buried and sealed in for the remainder of its 1,600 year half-life. It has the potential to become the most sought-after new neighborhood in San Francisco, but what effect will that affluence have on longtime locals and their current way of life?
