125 thousand years ago , San Francisco was an island . And soon it will be one again , thanks to rise sea levels . Excellent San Francisco blog Burrito Justice has just post their latest chef-d’oeuvre — a science fiction story ( with infographics ! ) about city planning squabbles in the 2070s , when San Francisco has become an archipelago .

You ’ll take note that the Mission hipsters are doomed to drown first , along with Ritual Roasters and Four Barrel Coffee , but those who live on high above the ocean in the Alfred Hawthorne of Castro and Noe Valley will still be pushing their strollers around and exhaust at thesupernaturally delicious Cookie Time truck .
Here’sa quotation from Burrito Justice ’s “ AP news story ” from 2072about the San Francisco archipelago :
Unlike most coastal areas of the former United States , the universe of the archipelago has dramatically increase despite the 200 foot rise in sea floor over the preceding 60 years . Pundits debate whether this is due to the more and more tropical temperatures or the creative and cultural burst due to density . no matter , the 4 million people now living on the SFA are demanding expanding upon of the San Andreas airport – studies are underway to build three more runways on the former 280 right of elbow room .
However , the raw form of supersonic clipper will be in serve by 2074 and Pan Am claim they can provide direct service to both Haight Inlet and Excelsior Lagoon , much to the relief of the Juniper Serra Conglomeration . ( The JSC clearly prefer repurposing the older road to retrace a rail gun space launching organization with the help of Stanford Alto . )
The sail ship berths along Divisidero Harbor go on to be promote , while negotiation are afoot with Port Orinda and Caldecott Harbor to handle the lading form the outdated facilities at Geary Sound . With the plus of the 6th high speed rail thermionic tube to the mainland , the original tunnels ( completed in 2025 ) will be dedicated to payload .
ontogeny of high climb along the Sunset Coast and Cape Dolores has not been without disputation . The SHSFPA ( Submerged Historic San Francisco Preservation Association ) has once again dissent and filed an environment historic review .
Anyone who has survive in San Francisco for any length of metre knows that this is all too plausible . particularly the part about high concentration maturation controversy , despite a growing universe . This is the kind of everyday life science fiction / futurism that I would have it away to see more hoi polloi tackling . I want function and charts to become their own subgenre of skill fabrication .
Previously , Burrito Justice offer up some scientific discipline fiction mapping withthis post horse of San Francisco as a canal metropolis . This is actually not unrealistic , given that most of the Mission was built on a Ngaio Marsh .
