You saying move it north 200'?, where would the GA terminal go?, the Coast Guard Station?, the tank farm to the NW?, the takeoff path would then be even closer to the San Bruno "mountain"...... you are the one with B/S.

Don’t be silly, the city has been trying to fix the layout since the Willie Brown nineties. The simplest and least invasive solution is move 28R north to the end of the 1’s. The only reason airliners have to do this approach wingtip to wingtip is because of this outdated joke of an international airport. Oh there’s a cloud below 2100’? Your flights now three hour delayed because simultaneous approaches are no longer authorized.
