"The San Francisco Waterfront, where the commercial concerns of nations and corporations meet and cross... and thus is a no man's land belonging to many interests, many ambitions, but hospitable to none" -- said in The New Defenders Vol.1 #133 (Jul1984).
Recently, the X-Men and a majority of the mutant community has moved to San Francisco. The X-Men saved the city during the Skrull Invasion. The Mayor is in complete support of their residency. After the destruction of their San Fransisco base, the mutant community moved to Magneto's abandoned Asteroid, now coined the Island of Utopia, which floats just off the Coast. A lot of damage happened to the city during Second coming, but the X-Men have been repairing the damage done by Bastion.
