Google Fiber is finally coming to San Francisco, but only for a select few. Today the company announced that it will make its high-speed internet service available to San Francisco apartments, condos, and affordable housing properties where fiber optic cables are already available.

The announcement echoes Monday's news that Google Fiber will bring its service to Huntsville, Alabama, where it will license the city-owned fiber optic infrastructure and share that infrastructure with other providers. "By using existing fiber to connect some apartments and condos, as we’ve done before, we can bring service to residents more quickly," Google Fiber director of business operations Michael Slinger said.

"This approach will allow us to serve a portion of San Francisco, complementing the City’s ongoing efforts to bring abundant, high-speed Internet to the City by the Bay."

Although San Francisco is generally seen as a tech city—THE tech city, really—it's a bit late the the Google Fiber party. The service is already available in Kansas City; Austin, Texas; Provo, Utah and Atlanta, Georgia. Many other cities, including San Antonio and Nashville, have also been slated for Fiber.

This isn't the first time Google has tried to offer Internet in San Francisco, which for a tech hub can be notoriously resistant to change. In 2007, Google and Earthlink proposed a city-wide WiFi service to San Francisco that ultimately fizzled. Let's just hope its plans for Google Fiber work out better.
