So we lost the T line option to get to Mission Bay area from Castro and now only have the N or transfer option at Powell.

You're welcome! Glad that even locals are finding the thread informative and useful.
But yeah, that's what it's looking like. I think if you want to get to say, Mission Rock from Castro, you can take K Ingleside or M Ocean View to Powell, then transfer to T Third. It's about a 30 min ride and more direct. But I think probably comes out to about the same time as the previous K/T route because of the added transfer, and obviously as a result it's no longer a one seat ride. The other option would be taking 22 Fillmore and cutting directly across town, which is most direct but is also a 30 min ride.

A little off topic but are they ever going to open the L line again?

I think they're still working on the
L Taraval Improvement Project, which isn't slated to be completed until Fall 2024 at the earliest. Fingers crossed there won't be any delays. At least Segment A is already complete and apparently it was completed on time and on budget.

Project Benefits
- Transit priority traffic signals for more efficient and time saving Muni trips
- Sidewalk bulbouts for safer pedestrian crossing and higher visibility
- Enhanced sidewalks to draw visibility to pedestrian crossing at Taraval intersections
- Safety boarding islands for safer boarding and alighting of Muni L Taraval customers
- Infrastructure rehabilitation and replacement of worn rails, overhead wires, water and sewer lines, and repavement of the entire Taraval street due to heavy usage from both cars and light rail vehicles (LRV)
- Infrastructure upgrades will result in less rocking for riders on board the train and rails are less noisy for other vehicles when driven over
- Sewer and water line replacement will allow for longevity of the utility pipes as well as easier access and less disruptive utility work in the future
- The streetscape style elements include tree selection, decorative crosswalks, trackway accent colors and public art
