The Yerba Buena Gardens of San Francisco
There are many gardens in the City of Saint Francis. One that is often visited by locals and tourists alike because of its city center location is the Yerba Buena Gardens in the South of Market a block away from Market Street.
This place has also become the site of many gatherings mainly festivals and concerts. The Metreon which houses Target and cinemas are right next to it. So is the Moscone Convention Center.

That tall building is the fabulous St. Regis, a combined hotel and condo apartment building. We have a friend who bought a two bedroom condo here for a whopping $4,000,000 and pays nearly $40,000 property tax a year on it.
