Foster City, California

Foster City, California, lies on an artificial extension of the shore of San Francisco Bay. In the foreground is highway 92; highway 101 slices diagonally across the upper right. The number 2 shape in the city is an interior man-made waterway allowing for pleasant paddling in the city. The neat patterns of arcs and line segments make a visually interesting community. The fill construction of the land and its low elevation make it somewhat susceptible to liquefaction during earthquakes; however, this did not occur in the 1989 quake.
