	The development of this last large area of [[Rancho Era\|Rancho San Miguel]] was unique. For that reason it warrants special comment. Using a combination of Federal, State, City and County funds, the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency reshaped this 300 acre site into a community known as Diamond Heights. Land was available for purchase at a fair value by private enterprise for residential, community and institutional development. The result was a self-contained neighborhood providing almost a total array of services and conveniences for everyday living within its boundaries--a city within a city. The range of housing choices provided opportunity for a mixed population, singles, families, young, elderly, low to median income with varied lifestyles.
