Bayview and Hunters Point consist of still-affordable, primarily
owner-occupied, single family homes, interspersed with manufacturing
and warehouses. The close knit community is known for its local
activists, often found at Sam Jordan?s bar, who have threatened to
secede from the City and have saved and renovated historic buildings,
such as the Ruth Williams Memorial Theater. The circa-1888 Bayview
Opera House offers theater productions and classes, and the Bayview
Hunters Point Foundation provides legal, mental health and youth
services to residents.
