SF is built around mother Nature's dictum: a natural harbor and land boundaries of the Bay and Pacific Ocean. On the one side (out of 4) where an artificial boundary was drawn, it was considered the extent of settlement at the time it was drawn and is a straight line across the peninsula. There's nothing sacred about it except it made a nice, neat square.
