<P> The earthquake also was crucial in the development of the University of California, San Francisco and its medical facilities . Until 1906, the school faculty had provided care at the City - County Hospital (San Francisco General Hospital, 1915--2016, but Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center (SFGH) since 2016), but did not have a hospital of its own . Following the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, more than 40,000 people were relocated to a makeshift tent city in Golden Gate Park and were treated by the faculty of the Affiliated Colleges . This brought the school, which until then was located on the western outskirts of the city, in contact with significant population and fueled the commitment of the school towards civic responsibility and health care, increasing the momentum towards the construction of its own health facilities . Finally, in April 1907, one of the buildings was renovated for outpatient care with 75 beds . This created the need to train nursing students, and, in 1907, the UC Training School for Nurses was established, adding a fourth professional school to the Affiliated Colleges . </P> <P> For example, real estate investors and other land owners were against the idea due to the large amount of land the city would have to purchase to realize such proposals . City fathers likewise attempted at the time to eliminate the Chinese population and export Chinatown (and other poor populations) to the edge of the county where the Chinese could still contribute to the local taxbase . The Chinese occupants had other ideas and prevailed instead . Chinatown was rebuilt in the newer, modern, Western form that exists today . The destruction of City Hall and the Hall of Records enabled thousands of Chinese immigrants to claim residency and citizenship, creating a backdoor to the Chinese Exclusion Act, and bring in their relatives from China . </P> <P> While the original street grid was restored, many of Burnham's proposals inadvertently saw the light of day, such as a neoclassical civic center complex, wider streets, a preference of arterial thoroughfares, a subway under Market Street, a more people - friendly Fisherman's Wharf, and a monument to the city on Telegraph Hill, Coit Tower . </P> <P> The earthquake was also responsible for the development of the Pacific Heights neighborhood . The immense power of the earthquake had destroyed almost all of the mansions on Nob Hill except for the James C. Flood Mansion . Others that hadn't been destroyed were dynamited by the Army forces aiding the firefighting efforts in attempts to create firebreaks . As one indirect result, the wealthy looked westward where the land was cheap and relatively undeveloped, and where there were better views and a consistently warmer climate . Constructing new mansions without reclaiming and clearing old rubble simply sped attaining new homes in the tent city during the reconstruction . </P>
