sfopenhomes.com still uses the old map – the only difference I found is park north -> nopa (at last).
I’m on the waiting list for the new map as well…

I agree with Damion – Rincon Hill has to be a subdistrict. It is totally weird to call buildings like “The Infinity”, “The Metropolitan”, “The Lansing”, and “One Rincon Hill” as being in “South Beach”. There is a distinction between South Beach and Rincon Hill already in people’s minds…

Also, there should be a “South Financial District” that should be carved out of SOMA perhaps going down 4th to Folsom and over to Rincon Hill. I’m sorry, but the St Regis is not a “SOMA” building, neither is The Montgomery, 199 New Montgomery, The Millennium, nor the Four Seasons!

My 2 cents

I agree about the southern boundary being expanded, and I think it should westward there as well to the west side of Guerrero at least. But Mission st itself?

9c (inner mission) is too large:

The eastern boundary of 5M (Mission Dolores) should be expanded from Valencia street to Mission street and the southern boundary should be expanded to 22nd St. This way the district would encorporate the Liberty Hill Historic District.

The area around Franklin Square with its mix of light industrial and residential, old brick mills and new lofts could become a new subdistrict bounded by Division on the north, Potrero on the east, 20th to the south, and Folsom to the west.

Rincon Hill should be a subdistrict.

I live on Valencia near the tiny street of McCoppin (one block from Market) We and all our neighbors think we live in the Mission, but realestate folks say we live in SOMA. We don’t. Sorry. We are west of Mission and on Valencia. This is Mission.

Thanks

Outer Parkside should be “nothingtoseehere,movealong”. Just trying to keep prices down, folks.

Inner Sunset should be renamed Inner Sunless.

Seriously, what’s the story with zip codes? I’ve discovered 94110 includes Bernal south of the hill and most of the mission. Doesn’t make sense to me.

Sophie says>Area around UCSF between 7th and stanyan could be one unit, ‘parnassus”. and the rest of 5e, either ashbury heights or cole valley (or both)

Agreed. That area is pretty uniform from around cole / stanyan until you get to 7th or so. It is the UCSF “Parnassus Heights” campus, yet on one side of the garage it’s considered the haight, whereas the other side is the inner sunset. 5th ave has a lot more in common architecturally and neighborhood wise with stanyan or willard than it does with 12th ave, when you get a lot more sunset / marina style houses from a different time period.
