2 at the moment none of the north fidi c-3 district includes the ability to increase FAR past the traditional limit of 18:1 in section 123, and
3 tons of sites actually have pretty low height limits, sometimes lower than the existing buildings and CERTAINLY too low to justify tearing down a 10-20 story tower, losing the rent for 3 years, etc.

that said, a couple 700-1400 foot towers north of market would be AMAZING.

Everything you've said is completely true under current zoning. I took it as her casually floating the idea of a future spot rezoning (not unlikely Transbay or Central SOMA) of the FiDi. I would assume this would not happen until Transbay/Central SOMA are built out, for obvious reasons.
