By now many, though not all, of the structures from the island's military era have been demolished (including the bowling alley in the photo). Environmental remediation is proceeding slowly.
A small community of mostly low-income families live in the island's housing, and some of the larger buildings are used as sound stages for film production and related industries.
@mattblaze@federate.social have you been out there recently? It’s now mostly a construction site for ~10 story apartment buildings and is trying to go up market. (It actually looks pretty good.)
@crawshaw So isolated though.
@mattblaze@federate.social agreed, it needs some commercial space to bring it to life. The tiny ferry from sf is fast and fun, maybe there’s an opportunity to build things that are too expensive for SF proper.
