I used to be so glad that this was gone, but hell, maybe if it would have remained, there'd be some lower market rentals.. especially in Hayes Valley.

It was an ugly piece of shit. If the federal government in the 1950s had given the state as much money to build housing instead of freeways there wouldn’t be issues like that now.

It was pretty ugly by 1980 standards, but when those floating lanes are contrasted against old cars, it must have been like living in the future in 1960.

@Paul Ramsey Yup, Until 1968 when Interstate 480 was decommissioned and downgraded to State Route 480.

That was worse thing San Francisco ever did was tear down that freeway! Shame on San Franciscans!

You do know fewer cars go on this freeway. This freeway was completly useless

They tore down the freeway because 1. it was an eyesore and blocked San Francisco from the waterfront 2. traffic had been dwindling from the '50s 3. it was useless, as the original plan for the Golden Gate Freeway failed, meaning it led to nowhere. 4. it had multiple engineering flaws 5. it partially collapsed in the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake 6. the greater plan for the freeways in San Francisco was canceled after much city opposition. So don't go shaming San Franciscans for some useless thing that the entire city didn't want. The same thing happened in the Alaskan Way Viaduct in Seattle, except this time they demolished it, entirely revamped the waterfront, and built a deep-bore tunnel to carry the highway instead.

@@Enigmatism415 I think I got the fact wrong. I believe the Embarcadero Freeway did not collapse but was instead heavily damaged by the strong earthquake, which prompted the destruction of the freeway.
