“I would speculate that (Gene Roddenberry) saw it as a city that symbolized the kind of tensions and optimistic future that he wanted to depict in ‘Star Trek,’” (San Francisco State University film studies professor Daniel) Bernardi says. “... Different people — different aliens, in other words — coming together, struggling together, on a ship, i.e., San Francisco.”

Star Trek mentions San Francisco?
It features prominently in the fourth movie, The Voyage Home (which was funny AF when released, but unfortunately a good amount of the jokes fall flat now). It's where Starfleet HQ is located, and so is a recurring setting in pretty much all the various spin-offs & movies.
The fictional future StarFleet is headquartered here, and Star Trek IV movie was set here in SF and the Bay Area.
