Media sensationalism aside, I do think the tower was a missed opportunity and the horizontal lines are not flattering.
César Pelli just plopped down his generic obelisk design he already did in other cities. Like it's almost literally the same tower as that one in Santiago.
I always liked SF's skyline, it had perfect balance, I think supertall heights were the last thing it needed.
