I live in Ocean View right around the city limits and there is nothing worth taking a picture of over here. Even though we live in the city my girlfriend and I routinely will refer to "going into the city" or such. There just isn't much city out here. Unless, that is, I listen to Muni and decide to take a pleasurable trip out to scenic Bayview. Or maybe picturesque Visitacion Valley. If Google is going to make a change though rather than taking some pictures, they need to acknowledge that there are roads that go through the Daly City BART station. Right now it's just a big empty space and directions treat it like an impassable barrier. Not like I need the directions myself, but it's still missing relevant information. Hell, the 54 Muni drives down the unmarked zone every day. Yeah, I’ll second what Greg said.

There really isn't a whole lot of interest here. Yeah, I live in the Ingleside and I can’t say I really blame them for skipping over this part of town.
