And while the Arts District is definitely seeing a ton of investment, it's considerably behind SoMA in its redevelopment arc. There is still a ton of wholesale retail and industrial space, both used and vacant, that will most likely be redeveloped in coming years. Large swaths of this, just begging for higher and better use:

I calculated Tenderloin as part of Downtown San Francisco. It's 29,638 people living in 0.697 km² for a 42,500 inh./km² density (multiply for 2.59 for miles). That's comparable to the densest Paris arrondissements. It's very hard to reproduce elsewhere.
But it's beautiful this region. Lots of potential.
