Of all the international cities, San Francisco has the most titillating views by far. Where there's the will, there's a way. Perhaps not now, but maybe in subsequent boom cycles...

If they include a 700-800 ft tower in the Market st Hub plan that could also have amazing views of downtown, Bay Bridge, and the GG Bridge. Maybe thats when we'll have our observatory.
I just don't understand it when civilians echo the opinions of commercial developers who have an interest in making sure the top floors are reserved for condos/CEO's offices. If people don't advocate for public benefits...who will?
