- Join me for the premiere of a brand new series, “The Dark Side of San Francisco”, reporting live from Hunters Point for Episode 1! In this video, we primarily cover the new and old Double Rock housing projects, the former Candlestick Park area and the Harbor Road area. Numerous San Francisco rappers and famous athletes come from this exact area of the city. Hunters Point rests right on the south-eastern side of San Francisco and is often referred to as the most isolated area of the city. It sits right on the shoreline of the San Francisco Bay and the United States military frequently used the location for naval purposes and ship building. Condensed housing was built in the early 1900’s primarily for military related individuals.
With the engineering and development of various military related equipment, it’s rumored that a portion of the Hunters Point shoreline area is contaminated with radioactive and toxic waste. This is one of the main reasons the Candlestick Park development project is at a standstill and hasn’t seen progress in many years. The investors are skeptical about continuing forward with the possibilities of the areas soil being contaminated from the waste that was dispersed during the shipbuilding era.
Hunters Point is extremely industrial and offers very little entertainment or healthy eating options. Liquor stores and fast food restaurants run rampant in the area. It’s quite far from the “desirable” areas of San Francisco and has the highest violent crime rate in the entire city. A perfect recipe for impoverishment and neglect from the city of San Francisco.
Now is the time to stop reading this description and sit back and enjoy the launch of “The Dark Side of San Francisco” series. Like, share and subscribe for new episodes coming VERY SOON!

TWO JACKS!! Best fried fish in Frisco. ❤ Born and Raised on Jamestown Ave the main road down to Candlesitck hahah. (Specifically @ 2:36 the houses over his right shoulder at the base of the hill). God the Memories!!!
I remember parking cars for the World Series and met OJ Simpson 10 minutes before the Earthquake hit. I remember when we found Humphrey the Humpback when he beached himself riding our BMX bikes down there (true story). I remember when KYA radio tower got blown over during the mega storms. Oh also Tom Brady and his dad used to park in our driveway and walk down to the Niner games! (My mom was SFPD and knew his dad so it was all good) So wild how much the old neighborhood has changed its three times the number of people over there now!
Also FUN FACT Bay View Hunters Point Shipyards was where the battleships that where used in the Bikini Atoll Nuclear Experiments we towed chopped up and the blast effects studied. GREAT VIDEO LOVE THAT PLACE GO NINERS !!! Shout out all my Trusty Shellbacks from Treasure Island!
Great video.
AWESOME memories shared right here! Legit had a great time reading them. This is a big reason why I do these videos. To help folks explore some good ol’ nostalgia from back in the day. Very important part of life imo.. appreciating WHERE YOU CAME FROM 🧡🖤🧡🖤
I was a street down, on ingerson 🤟🏿
I stayed on Divisadero for a minute, BFF stayed on Hunter's Point. *Hunters Point is where the beat-down term "MOLLY WOP" started*
Born n Raised on Ingerson Ave (isp) =straight to the entrance of candlestick park. met Jerry Rice and his wife they were driving down Ingerson Ave after niners game back in the Glory Days.
Went to Brett Harte and Woodrow Wilson! From Tick Tocks to Two Jack's! HP isn't HP anymore! Gentrification fuked everything up!
As a native boy has the city changed 15 years ago he wouldn’t dare drive let along walk through there lol
Yep
I grew up in Hunters Point. I always walked every place I went in San Francisco. Walk around the whole City and give and get love. It was really fun. I thank San Francisco very much.
One of the best parts of SF! Pretty walkable town and outside of its dirtiness, public transit has always been pretty solid!
I'm a little late in seeing this, but being from Double Rock my whole life,(since 1982), I can tell you any and every race was welcomed, and not targeted like the security guard was saying. For the most part like everywhere else, it was black on black violence for the most part. It was a great place to grow up and very fun with hundreds of friends and countless memories.
Thanks for the watch! Could you please fill me in on a little info on the migration from the old to new double rock property? Still curious about how that worked out for the thousands of residents of the old property.
I dunno…first dude’s comment sure don’t seem to like Asians very much….
Yeah Back In The Days Everybody Got Along, Folks Weren't Tripping On Race
Thank you for sharing your tour. A huge amount of my paternal side of the family resided in Alice Griffith. I myself stayed there with my cousin Juanita for a short period of time. It’s really sad how it wasn’t able to be restored for the long term residents could afford.
Talk about it 🙏🏽 Did your family or anyone else you know end up making the successful move from the old Alice Griffith to the new property? Still fascinated by that topic
Thats one quiet hood. The internet has changed everything, so many people just stay inside online now. Like they are afraid of their neighbors. Back in the day I could imagine all those people, smiling out on their patios with BBQ and drinking and music. The state has probably locked up more than half the men that used to live there. The prison industrial complex.
All excellent points! Take us back to the 90’s please and THANK YOU!
@@privateeyetravelguy Yo nerd a$$ wouldn't be able to pull this sh^t off in the 90's!!! You're safe now; u sure u want to go back??? I doubt it!!!
Boi that's big block back in the day it was drive bys, crack rock and the police wouldn't come through because that AK would be singing. My friend would come to school knees scraped because he had to duck a drive by before school. You couldn't walk 5 mins without someone robbing you blind early 80s 90s and early 2000s this was a war zone
@@keepitclean1237bruh shutup nobody care
@@keepitclean1237that ain’t nun to glorify bruh big block got a lot of enemies because of that
That's a lie about Double Rock, back in 92-98 me and my white friends would roll through there for dime sacks of weed any hour of the day. They loved seeing white folks because it meant money. We NEVER had any problems. Only problems we would have is when the block was hot with cops we would get crackheads rushing us with a sack of actual grass(lawn) 🤣
Sounds like you go way back with DR! 🖤🧡🖤🧡
They built new double rock …double rock is right by candlestick fool
Top of Fitzgerald Avenue Weed sacks all - day n Night. Before was Casmere Super Sacks. Fkn wit Dank
@@anthonymirkovich5156 are you an idiot? I didn't say anything about the new DR.
@@anthonymirkovich5156 no shit dumbass lol wtf?
I'm a ups driver my first delivery was double rock! Back when it existed.
Too funny! My buddy used to work for UPS too and the old DR was one of his main coverage areas!
I was born and raised in Bay View Hunter Point, some of this guys information is very wrong. I've lived here since 1961..❤
Shot out to old double rock..where when I was a knock I'd get 2 rocks for the price of one!
I’m 10% sure this is sarcasm, 90% sure it’s fact 😂😭😆
That abandoned part u talkin bout was my school Malcom x elementary school n that was the playground that had the giant a** slide💯 I lived on west pint
Damn what a shame on that being closed huh? It’s in such a good location for the community. Right in the heart of HP. Could be providing plenty of greatness for the hood if there was only proper funding 😢
Nice name btw. I played football with a Sekona family back in the day. They were Tongan.
Ant B park
80's baby Geneva block born & raised. Shout out to my fam on Cora, lil Hollywood, and CoCaine ave
The rapper Hollywood from Richmond? He have some SF roots?
Hunters Point residents were mostly relocated to Antioch and now Antioch is the new ghetto.
I did hear Antioch was a hot spot for the migration. That’s a far away destination 😔😔😔
And Pittsburgh The grand ma moved and all the kids, grand kids followed. .
Yep. Lots went to Pittsburgh. @@user-uj5kn6co5q
I remember when the stadium used to be in Hunter’s Point. I felt like it was a city at nighttime, giving it a sense of awe to those that saw it. I miss the times where the night around the neighborhood felt mystifying.
Why can’t they clean up Hunter’s Point and make it livable?
Agreeeeed. Well they’re definitely starting to build new housing on the hill. Gentrification indeed is slowly occurring. The only problem I have with that is HP needs more entertainment, healthcare and fresh food stores before more housing.
Double Rock born and raised
Is there any footage of the original alice griffith projects ? Even Google images are very few..the green and yellow projects . Cameron court
Jeez you weren’t kidding about the lack of content from the old DR complex.
czcams.com/video/RH2wZeTW-mQ/video.htmlsi=TsJ8n-g-bwqxzGKm
Decent quality aerial footage of it. Pretty insane how large it looked from that angle WITH the housing intact. Felt much smaller without it. They even tore down the trees. Thanks for the inspiration on finding this. Good for contrast!

How in the Heaven & Hell is he walkin around BIGG BLOCK witta Camera?🤔🤨
How?? Because it's 2024, not 1994!!! Two different Friscos, Two different Hunters Points..U already know that!!!! SMH!!

@@jaymoses7460yup don’t matter where u from yo shit commercialized now
I was thinking the same thing
That ain’t big block no more bruh. You don’t see 🥷 on the block 50 deep anymore that shit is dry as hell nowadays
It's weird because there's no videos that I can find of the old projects there in Hunter Point or them being abandoned or getting torn down
I lived in the Filmore district and party in Bayview/ Hunters Point and durning the 60s , there were very little or no problems .. great times

This video makes me so sad...I was raised there...and to see it like this breaks my heart...2 Jacks is a Double Rock staple...and boi do I miss it...
Many people have been mentioning 2 Jacks in the comments. I gotta go next visit!
You will not be disappointed...I grew up in Double Rock and 2 Jacks was my McDonald's...and when I was pregnant all I wanted was a snapper and chicken combo extra seasoning fish fried hard with Xtra hot sauce...I will drive all the way to SF just to go there...
I stayed in double rock on Cameron I remember the good times and the bad times I remember going to candlestick and all of that staying there and definitely love all my Homies from there but he definitely should’ve hooked up with one of the Homies from there because we definitely got a lot of stories out of there
Someone else dropped Cameron in the comments too! Yeah, I’m going to try my best to get an interview feature in the next episode 👍🏼🖤🧡
My old neighborhood! Born and raised in Double Rock.Cameron Way, to be exact.#C-Block
Sick! On the backside of the lot. Noticed that area had the better views on the double rock property.
I stayed on Divisadero for a minute, BFF stayed on Hunter's Point. *Hunters Point is where the beat-down word "MOLLY WOP" started* WOP WOP WOP WOP WOP!!!
Lol! I actually love that term so I’m happy it originated from such a history rich area of SF 🖤🧡🖤🧡
Things has really changed 💯
😢all my memories are gone. RIP 10 CAMERON WAY
I think someone else mentioned Cameron in the comments. May they rest in peace 🙏🏽🖤🧡
My dad is from the old east point road! Love hp ❤❤❤
HP 🧡🖤🧡🖤
Two jacks, used to be 🔥🔥🔥 back in the day 💯
What’s your opinion on Hard Knox on 3rd Street?
Interesting statement you made about it reminded you of Rio De Janeiro because many years ago I had said the same statement that Bayview Hunters Point especially Big block and West Point and Alice Griffith AKA Double Rock housing projects remind me of the favela on the hill in Rio de Janeiro I BEEN sayin that for like maybe 20 years plus now and to hear someone else say the same thing that I was thinkin was quite interestin to type the least however I am surprised that you was up there walkin on BIG BLOCK or Harbor Road in Bayview Hunters Point
San🌁🤴🏿Francisco
Hey man… HP totally reminds me of Rio 🇧🇷! Have you been to Rio? As for me visiting HP, I’m just an innocent guy that comes in peace and puts my trust in God at all times 🙏🏽
Yo bro I've lived in Brazil from Hunters Point I been telling folks that since 2006 I rolled swishers for the favela guys I bought tree from
Great video. We drove through years back wayyy before what an experience lol 😅😂😂. Great review. Keep up the good work my friend
Thanks a ton !
I grew up in the 3 story house with a Mercedes Benz in the front yard and that exact neighborhood.
Nice house 👍🏼🖤🧡
This was a really good vlog! Being a big fan of RBL Posse, it was cool to see a close and personal viewing of the legendary Harbor Rd. The way you compared Harbor Rd. to the favelas in Rio De Janeiro, reminded me of how Black C (RBL Posse) titled his second album The City of Gods.
That’s insane all these people saw the exact same thing on the comparison to Rio! I’m for sure going to have to listen to that album, all I really know well from RBL is “ruthless by law” 🔥 . Thanks for the Intel
I always felt those housing projects in Hunters Point look dope in high hills just facing the Bay.
You should go to LA for a tour on the PJs
Totally been meaning to! I was stuck in riverside on business not long ago. Actually a bit chippier than I thought it would be lol
He missed westpoint he turned right by the youth park that's the hood up there💯
Is westpoint rougher than Sunnydale?
Dam dog u need excerise ...😂😂 breathing heavy
If they demolished the entire area, they could build homes that could go for 5- 30 million a piece. Especially with that view.
Oh they most definitely could but unfortunately there’s still the concern of the area having radioactive remnants and real estate professionals are afraid of investing in this area because of it!
Potrero hill has the best view
No, not with the toxicity in the water.
Due diligence, you are speaking to Real Estate and development without knowledge. San Francisco is very unique and rich in History.
Well. Do you care to share some of your thoughts / theories on why developers/SF never ended up doing anything with the Candlestick Point property after 10+ years?
I am not the faux journalist, I am commenting, that is what the platform you posted on is for. Good day!@@privateeyetravelguy
Never seen him a day in my life in the point
You don’t know what Two Jacks is? I stopped the video at 1:38. This video is not for this native SF person, so I will swipe left
Thanks for the 98 seconds of your time! I’d set the over/under at 8.5% of SF natives knowing about Two Jacks lol I got the under too 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
Private eye what you know about the city ..?
RBL Posse “Bounce to This”. Rappin 4-Tay and “playaz club” was by Third and Newcomb
Sickkkk. Ruthless By Law, PHENOMENAL album 🎯🔥🥇
!WOW, THANKS!
My pleasure 🤝🏾🤝🏾🤝🏾
Very rude, you were not invited to walk up the stairs through peoples porches, probably why no one would speak to you. Sad, because actually speaking to the humans that live there, may have given you some real content.
Well, I think it’s rude that you believe I need permission to walk on PUBLIC staircases and walkways in the USA. This isn’t Adolf Hitler’s Germany in the 1940’s. We have rights here in America and should be very grateful for them 🙏🏽🖤🧡🙏🏽
@@privateeyetravelguy You are speaking to a Patriot, calm down. Your walk through the "Dark Side" was rude and pretentious, I stand firm in my comment.
I grew up on northridge in the projects ! I miss the jungle
Beautiful area!
Northridge aint new just freshened up the exterior and interior
Amazing what fresh paint can do huh? Just putting lipstick on a pig!
Sec 8 is different then the project s
I was a young man at 16 working with the lawyer suing San francisco for asbestos and mold, Someone high up in the City's Power ladder has bought off the last 7 or 8 lawyer's
I wouldn’t any bit doubt it! 💯💯💯
Correction it was not section 8 housing it was low income housing
Double Rock?
Yes
Yes
That’s kinda sad I lived on the bottom near 3rd street and Quesada Ave .. they had a skatepark and we used to bomb the hills in anything with wheels on it
Sick! Yeah I remember going to the Army Street skate spot with my cousin back in the day.
Your right about everything
Somebody tell me why people from Socal have a misconception about Frisco they swear Oakland is the only place with hoods
Beeeeennnnn saying this for years. SF totally gets the “walk in the park” type perception from a lot of narrow minded people. “The homeless, car jackings (bippings) and crazy retail theft is the only issues that beautiful city has” they say… NOPE! The southern area of SF has some of the roughest hoods on the west coast without a doubt.
Frisco has plenty of projects ..did you get the story of Geneva towers..?
It's because of many factors but tons of people from L.A have family in Oakland or Berkeley areas, they've seen what it's like here and we visit our family in Socal it's the same thing. How can ppl know about a place when the people from the place aren't putting in work in other states in cities. I'm from Oakland and I didn't know San Francisco had black people and hoods until I was in High School. Yall always stayed in yall area and never was outside outside of yall city.
Because people from Oakland are louder. That’s pretty much is, us City folk keep it 🤐
really interesing vlog!
Thanks!
Seeing BB gave me chills… in a bad way
RIP CANDLESTICK ❤ I GREW UP 5 minutes away FRISCO MY HOME ❤
They never should have moved! Can’t stand Levi’s 👎🏽😡😔
Section 8 housing is not bad. Please stop mentioning Section 8 in the same sentence as Housing Projects. With Section 8 a person can live ANYWHERE IN THE CONTINENTIAL UNITED STATES and pay a portion of their income to live there. HOUSING PROJECTS you are stuck in the "projects." I have always, while on Section 8, lived in very nice neighborhoods where landlords have accepted my Section 8 Voucher and lived like everyone else. I believe it is the housing "projects." that have a bad name. Section 8 is not a part of the "problem." Housing PROJECTS are what you showed in this video, not Section 8. Watch your language boy.
Thank you for your input. Although it’s undeniable that SOME projects in the USA do in fact accept section 8 assistance. Keyword SOME so yes at times there is a correlation with project housing and section 8.
Not sure if what your were showing is sec 8

These is Section 8 Housing....U dnt kno what u talkn bout....I'm frm West Point & I stayed on Big Block....these is ALL Section 8 Homes....u must live in the burbs....bcuz ALL Out Projects in Tha City is Section 8 🤡.....u jus speakn 2 git some attention
The Alice Griffiths projects were repurposed NAVY housing when that shipyard and others in the SFBA were launching vessels faster than Germany could sink them… so, WW II era is my guess as to age.
Sounds about right on the age prediction. May they rest in peace or should I say rubble 😔😢🙏🏽
The navy moved into Hunters Point the beginning of World War Two. They built the projects for the workers, many of them were Blacks from the south.
After the war, whites moved out, Blacks had no place to go.
This was super informative. You could play a drinking game with how many times he said “exact” 😂
I try my best with no teleprompter lol 🍻🍻🍻
Why is everything repeated twice?
How come you didn’t go up West Point 😂? Go to Sunnydale or Potrero hill or Paige street or the filmore
Sunnydale is pretty ratchet lol… hey are the Blythe projects still standing or did they tear them down?
@@privateeyetravelguy they are beginning to tear them down u should go before they are gone the whole low is gone still some old buildings and they have new buildings now

The facts added up for me too after even further research!
I did not like this video. I was born and raised in HP and for the life of me, I don't know how an Asian security guard can make comments about a community. You have a job to secure the premises only. As for the homeless encampment, this video didn't mention majority living there were other cultures.
People have free thinking minds..it is what it is.
Sorry to hear that. The security guard clearly stated he heard all of that testimony about Double Rock from different people in the area
Racist much?
Ummm bro, Asians also live in BV and HP. It ain’t only black!

Style got old quick. The bay has some of the worst rappers in music
When you’re talking about real estate development in a place like BV/HP, a local investor aptly put it:
The year is 2015- land grab in the bayview!
The year is 2021- pump and dump in the bayview!
So it’s either gentrification or el shithole supreme
Welcome to capitalism/Can’t have both 😂
Lol ain’t that the truth! Wayyy too many know it all fortune tellers in the RE industry! I still have a friend that’s been promising a crash the past 12 years 😂😭😆
It’s so sad to see all the gentrification that’s happening in from mission and I can definitely say it don’t feel the same frisco used to be a diverse place but now it’s all bad there I want to see Hispanics in the mission again not a bunch of tech people
Rightttt?! There’s a video on the gentrification issues in the Mission in specific. Rent control is nearly completely gone in SF. Then when the low - middle class get booted from their dwellings, they’re failing to meet the 3X income-rent requirements on new applications. Brutal 💔😢
Well we should of bought the house when they were affordable. We bought clothes, cars, spent money at the liquor stores , turning up going dumb while they were buying up the homes.
