The city has problem areas. They seem to be found in pods and along axes. Exploring the Market area, one can take a turn, and be in a completely unfamiliar atmosphere.

One school district, San Francisco Unified School District. Many private schools.Nationally acclaimed programs in medicine and the arts. 85.7% High school gradu-ates age 25+ in 2006-2010

Circular structure recommended for vertical farming, maximizing southern exposure. Vertical farm-ing makes sense in a community culture that values local goods and space is at a premium

Projects that disturb 5,000 square feet or more of the ground sur-face must comply with the Storm-water Design Guidelines

Liquefaction is a characteristic in soil. It causes the strength to drastically diminish. Liquefaction happens as a result of earthquakes. This is the primary factor in the massive demolition of earthquakes in history.

It is clear to see, that the bay area is a site of tectonic architectural consideration.

On this USGS map the yellow dots are quake epicenters. This data is compiled by the USGS from 1970-2003, so not all of the faults and earthquakes are ‘active’. There are 22 earthquakes between the mag-nitudes of 5.0-7.0 illustrated.
