Van Ness corridor itself is going through a massive makeover with multiple housing projects and a rapid bus transit system. I expect a similar makeover on Lombard between Lyon and Van ness.. As presidio becomes a real tourist attraction, current state of the lombard corridor is just pathetic

Oh god, Pac Heights and Marina are such status symbol neighborhoods, I cannot imagine them allowing for much change. Public transit is horrible there and they really could do anything to improve it. That's just my inner-jaded self talking though. :)
