When I think of SOMA, I think of that initial section south of market from about Spear to about 5th St, whereas the Auto Body shops are in the downtown section around 9th St and Harrison (which is a lot more walkable than the glass towers). But I've heard other people say "No, that's the 'Yerba Buena' district and the real SOMA starts below that and goes all the way to the central freeway. Anyways, I'm not going to die on that hill, it's just how I thought of the city. I enjoyed my time in the city but also saw a major quality of life bump when I left.
