Use this radius map for San Francisco planning
A radius circle centered on San Francisco answers a surprising range of practical questions: how far a job relocation moves you from family, which towns sit inside a reasonable commute ring, how wide a service or delivery area reaches, or what an emergency-planning buffer covers.
