The photo must be around 8 years old.
Fun fact: on the top left corner is a partial segment of the old Bay Bridge that was damaged during the Loma Prieta 1989 earthquake. They built a whole new span (the white section next to it). To get rid of the old concrete underwater pylons, they blew them all up underwater. Here’s a video of the implosion of the last two:

Is this tilt shifted? Looks unreal?
It’s Maxar satellite imagery with a high off-nadir angle. European Space Imaging use it as an example in this article about ONA.
This perspective is extra trippy because the port of Oakland and Naval Air Station Alameda are both so incomprehensibly huge on a human scale. You have an awareness and feeling for how big a city and skyscrapers are, so to see them in this perspective get made to look so small and so close to these expanses of concrete is mind bending.
Where’s the fog?
Fog machine operators were on strike.
Does anyone know what the small half complete bridge on the left is?
I think it’s the original eastern span, midway through being demolished after the present one was finished in 2013
Looks like SimCity 2000
First thing i thought!
Dense industrial, light residential… a lot is there!
At the top you can see the disused Alameda Naval Air Base runway, which is where the MythBusters filmed a lot of their antics.
