The first house on Masonic was renovated recently so even more impressive!

Thank you putting this together!

So much has changed even since the video!

Just discovered this! Thank you

i wish they never tour down the old Academy of sciences

No mention of the Chinese garden built for the fair. Sutro owner the Clif house before 1887.

Your form of pleasure is the best. Glad you ended Coney Island too. So many fun rides, and only a few million people back then Progress is all work and retreat, no play, perfect! Need those vacations from your perfect life

I'm sure this was done, but probably 5 or 600 years ago.Hence, our own history is a lie.We are all dumb a**** and we think we're so smart.Once we finally start getting it.Maybe we can learn to grow

The gold rush was just a cover story to Reply populate a desserted city , we inherited all of it

We didn't do any of this landscaping.There are no pictures to prove any of us and even if there were pictures we all know that's been photoshopped over the years.Trust me , we inherited all of this in the gold rushless and excuse for a jump , start on the new civilization , about eighteen fifty

Excellent presentation. Thank you for having researched, compiles, and produced it.

Amazing work!

we are sending this documentary to 30 friends

due to discrimination, Chinese engineers were not hired. I know my friend did not find an engineering job, he opened a Chinese restaurant ... near Santa Cruz

wow one hour long, one of these days it can be a KQED documentary

im starting think there is somethinig to this tartaria stuff, i was married at the current city hall and looked up its history and found that there were these huge rather alien looking buildings there before 1906, very strange.

Wow, wow. This was great. So glad that you come from a family of shutterbugs. The pictures were phenomenal. The story as well.

Thank you!

Very moving. Fascinating!

Amazing video. Just wanted to commend you for a new take on exploring and showcasing SF during and after the pandemic

"on the other end is peace...." That exemplifies addiction and the roots in trauma and the need to feel the temporary "right " feelings and sensations, what would have been held against one or denied. The eating of dirt/brushing teeth, to the temporary moving couch and off with a some ingenuity and chutzpah...

Fascinating to get an idea of what San Francisco's geography and topography looked like at the time of my great-grandfather's birth there in 1857.

No Tartarian Buildings to see here. Just move along. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Excellent production. There are still a few places where a person can get a sense of San Francisco Geology: Glen Park, Lobos Creek in the Presidio, Lake Merced. We oftentimes think mankind's impact on the environment is negative, but here, (or here) Civilization created a welcoming environment to an inhospitable zone of sand dunes and swamps. The impact of earthquakes on that landscape changed and created that environment.

Golden Gate Park is 20% larger than Central Park in New York City

What an amazing family and story

I love your videos, very well done. I just found hundreds of large negatives in a box of my great grandfather's of San Francisco and the surrounding area. From 1890's-1910. Including a lot of the days of the 1906 earthquake and fire. I am not familiar with the landmarks, i sure could use someone like you to see what is on them.

An amazing documentary

Recently picked up a redwood bench off of Craigslist and was told that it was pulled from a Maybeck house in the East Bay, I think Berkeley? Not the kind of bench that has legs, but a built-in...

This video was great and had good information and timelines

Well done - thank you for sharing the history of GGP.

Eyes closed, I’m transported back there 😍

100/100

The academy and the park was always the best days as a SF kid. It was always an adventure. Gators, sharks, cobras, piranha, octopus, anaconda skeletons, fossils dinosaurs and a planetarium!

The SECRET San Francisco... ⛏️🗝️💎🤫... Soon....

Thank you for a great video.

I just discovered this while finishing up some of the other "here" videos. excellent view through the camera lens of a world also just outside my door as well only a few blocks away . when i truly think about it so many have come and gone that were the original homeless of SF. the ones like you said that were in some form protection from those who mean to do harm. thanks for taking the time to share i will most certainly pass this along to those who see this from only one side

Wonderful presentation make sure to check out his other “ here” videos great series

I visited S.F. in May 1989. I could of had a much better time but I brought this idiot coke whore with me for 5 days. I found the vibe of the people very cold and souless. I couldn't wait to get back to St. Augustine Florida which is or was a much hipper and nonpretentious place. Funny, I was in Grand Cayman watching the ball game on TV when the earthquake erupted. Will the " big one " destroy San Francisco again?

Loving your story been glued to this amazing story along with the fantastic pics I was raised in Piedmont, my pops dad was poor Irish according to my mom who immigrated here in 52’ from Finland married my dad from Alameda My grandfather the poor Irishman married Florence Crowley dad born in 26’ did well raised us Piedmont where I meet my best friend Blake Wong. You mentioned both Crowley and I thought Moi? Think that’s Blake’s mom’s family. Anyway I was Blake’s best man, always thought Blake was a stud smart good looking natural leader etc though not the best athlete can’t have it all I guess I understand Crowleys ran a tug boat gig and can’t find but told Florence’s dad Patrick Crowley was SF Chief of Police 3 times which may not bold well for my ancestors treatment of the Chinese Americans if true that whether he ever was chief I was in a large sense raised by the Wong family ate dinner there every night, can’t explain how Lonnie and Phil made me feel so welcome etc words st least for me can’t explain the peace happiness I couldn’t find at home. I practically lived therein high school then later in my 20’s anyway remember seeing the Wanderers “Don’t fuck with the Wongs” line in the movie if you don’t know. Anywho thank you Sir Ps. No surprise of your family success as far as I’m concerned cuz if your not an idiot it obviously clear how successful Chinese Asian Americans have been are will continue to be since I’ve been in school Chinese Americans have always tested the highest in tests and shit of the such I never did college served Army honorably and shit. I don’t mean to offend anyone with my latest note re-intelligence/smarts I believe that stat is a fact but to those I might piss off suck my ass Blake married a nice Jewish lady personally I thought he should land him a fine ass sophisticated like Hong Kong cuz Blake had fucking class brah and goodbye get a little carried away after taking a rip of my homegrown Chem Dog 91 last October harvest from the high desert. Hit me up blood you a homie from da Oak Oakland smoking anyway I’ll send ya some nugs. All right den

I came here from a comment you left on another historic channel, and I have to say that you give so much more depth to the history of San Francisco..... I'm from Michigan ...... the opposite end of the US but you have made San Francisco's history fascinating to me❤

Perfect blend of entertaining documentation and historical fact letting. Like a great TV comedy without a laugh track. n.

Tartarians built SF

Would it be possible to do another episode like here 5 but on the east bay. There's a lot of interesting stuff that happened here One of the more interesting things are the huge shell mounds that ones stood here or what's left of them

all your videos are sooooo great! thank you!

This is amazingly well done. Very informative!!

I simply love your videos.
