As soon as I crest the grassy 425-foot peak and take a moment to enjoy the sprawling vista, it hits me. Where is everybody?
Sure, it’s a Tuesday, but I somehow have the 44-acre Bayview Park almost entirely to myself on a sunny afternoon. Aside from one woman and her dog, and a few city workers I saw driving to the radio tower, the trails are empty, and the 360-degree view that includes the bay, the downtown skyline, and the Bay Bridge is unobstructed. Birds are chirping loudly, towering eucalyptus trees sway in the breeze and the distant sound of Highway 101 hums in the background.

From the window in his Shipyard condominium, Dean Talanehzar likes to sit and watch the backhoes and bulldozers pushing dirt around for the next phase of San Francisco’s biggest development project.
While the coming building won’t be particularly big — 77 units out of 12,000 planned on a former Navy base and nearby Candlestick Point — he is heartened because the developer is bullish enough to keep working despite the pandemic and the unresolved toxic cleanup issues in the surrounding parcels.
