A city doesn't have to be 2000 years old to have had serious "situations". Mine is only about 250 years old, but we too have had "situations". In my previous post, I was limiting my response to buildings intentionally torn down, but here's some pictures of our worst "situation":

Area affected by fire


City Hall


SF Call (newspaper) Building

Sacramento St. (climbing Nob Hill)
