San Francisco is a city of neighborhoods with each neighborhood presenting a distinctive array of restaurants, entertainment, shops, and services that define the unique experience enjoyed by residents, employees, and visitors alike. San Francisco is the fourth most populous city in California and the 12th most populous city in the United States. It is the financial, cultural, and transportation center of the larger San Francisco Bay Area, a region of more than seven million people. The historic northeast quadrant of the city is bordered by Market Street to the south. It is here that the Financial District is centered, with Union Square, the principal shopping and hotel district, nearby. Cable cars carry riders up steep inclines to the summit of Nob Hill, once the home of the city's business tycoons, and down to Fisherman’s Wharf, a tourist area featuring Dungeness crab from a still-active fishing industry. The Marina to the north is a lively area with many young urban professionals. The South of Market, once filled with decaying remnants of San Francisco's industrial past, has seen significant redevelopment. The locus of the dot-com boom during the late 1990s, South of Market began to see skyscrapers and condominiums the area by 2004. Following the success of nearby South Beach, another neighborhood, Mission Bay, underwent redevelopment, anchored by a second campus of the University of California, San Francisco. Just southwest of Mission Bay is the Potrero Hill neighborhood featuring sweeping views of downtown San Francisco. KlingStubbins is now a part of Jacobs.
