So what was the reason for the exodus ?

slowing sinking into the Bay. Drawbridge has always been a no man's 
land, sitting in an island outside of San Jose and the then small 
town of Alviso. In the 20s and 30s, half of the town is filled with 
brothels as the police feared to tread in a town where nearly 
everyone was armed.

The last inhabitant left in 1979. In a scant twenty years, nothing 
remains except broken down shells of former houses and foot bridge to 
nowhere.
