Not true! You forgot the infamous Treasure Island.
Population: 3,064

From what I've heard, the community that live there is stuck in a food desert, and it's full of crime and poverty because it's mostly housing projects.
I would hate the idea of living there...too isolated and inconvenient, but also, the soil is very toxic from what I've read (they used to put toxic waste and chemicals there) and it's landfill, so if there's a terrible earthquake, the buildings won't withstand it well.
