Jabarkan Mount Davidson dari Kawasan kejiranan di San Francisco dalam bahasa melayu

The Oceanview neighborhood is located in southern San Francisco, south of the Ingleside neighborhood and City College. It is bordered by Interstate 280 to the south and east, Lakeview Avenue to the north and Orizaba Avenue to the west. Oceanview Playground and Minnie and Lovie Ward Recreation Center is located in the middle of the neighborhood, between Plymouth, Capitol, Lobos and Montana. Ocean View Branch Library is located at 345 Randolph St. Ocean View is served by MUNI Routes M and 54. Oceanview, also referred to as Lakeview by the natives of the community, has a rich history. Particularly noteworthy is its African American community that migrated there in the 1960s from the Western Addition and Bayview neighborhoods. Until the mid 1990s African Americans accounted for over 50% of its residents, many of which were forced out due to rising cost of living in San Francisco.

Approximately 45,000 people live in the OMI(Oceanview-Merced-Ingleside),

and, as of the 2000 United States Census, 45% of the population

identifies itself as Asian-American, 25% as African-American,

14% as Latino and 13% as white.

The demographic character of the OMI neighborhoods began to

change after World War II. Many African-Americans, who had

migrated to the Bay Area for work during the war, secured goodpaying

jobs and settled permanently in new homes in Ingleside,

Merced Heights and Ocean View when the war ended. In 1950,

African-Americans made up 5% of the population in the Ingleside,

Merced Heights and Ocean View census tracts, and by 1970 the

percentage had increased to 62%.

Fueled by vacant land in Merced Heights and Ocean View, the

post-war housing boom, the desire to own their own home, and

the already significant presence of African-Americans in the

neighborhoods, the black population exploded from 1950 to 1960.

By 1960, African-Americans made up 40% of Merced Heights,

32% of Ingleside and 59% of Ocean View.161 While some whites

moved out,162 generally to suburban tracts heavily marketed to

them, the number of blacks living in OMI increased twelvefold

(from 602 in 1950 to 7,273 in 1960), while the citywide black

population less than doubled (43,000 in 1950 to 74,000 in 1960).163

There is anecdotal evidence that African-Americans moved

to the OMI after being displaced by the first phase of urban

renewal in the Western Addition (the A-1 Project) in the late

1950s. Relocation records, while incomplete, show that the vast

majority of displaced residents of the Western Addition found

nearby accommodations. Of the 3,700 households of all races

(family and single households) living in the project area in 1957,

about 2,010 moved without relocation assistance and to unknown

whereabouts. Of the remaining 1,602, 67% moved to other parts

of the Western Addition and only 2.6%, or 34 households, moved

to the West of Twin Peaks area.

By 1970, the OMI had matured into a middle-class district

of single family, owner occupied homes. Seventy-six percent of

the land area in the Ingleside, Ocean View, and Merced Heights

neighborhoods was residential (100% was residential in Ingleside

Terraces), compared with 39% citywide. The housing stock

was overwhelming single family (95% vs. 68% citywide) and

owner occupied (72% vs. 31% citywide), while the population

was mostly African-American (63% compared with 13%

citywide).168 In recent years, the OMI has witnessed an influx

of Asian-American and other ethnic groups, making it one of

San Francisco’s most diverse neighborhoods. The OMI is more

Hispanic, Black, and Asian than San Francisco as a whole.
