Saul Bloom, executive director of Arc Ecology, an environmental group involved in the planning of new parkland at Hunters Point, believes the timing is right for the transformation.
"For political and practical reasons, revitalizing the Bayview and south side just wasn't a value the city had," Bloom said. "But it's really the last bit of San Francisco that's open for development. I think people see that now is the time to do landmark work in rehabilitating this area.

We have the ability to build thousands of units of housing, put in an industrial park, maybe have a sports arena, and have all of this create an engine for revitalizing the entire southern section of the city.
"It's not often you get an opportunity like this."
