Agreed. We definitely need more housing. Making 1) better use of surface parking while 2) expanding and modernizing grocery store space and 3) adding 790 units (86 of which will be affordable) is a slam dunk no brainer win-win-win.

And as a bonus, the design is quite thoughtful as well. The asymmetrical peaks pay homage to the nearby hills (Russian Hill and Pacific Heights). And the redesigned grocery store retains the wide, protruding canopy above curtainwall glass, an homage to the existing modernist storefront. The swoopy balconies above add a sleek and modern touch, also paying a homage to the curvature of the waterfront.
