I highly doubt that tall buildings will be permitted on upper Van Ness (say, north of California), since they would block views from Nob Hill and Russian Hill. As one who remembers Van Ness without the hideous Holiday Inn Golden Gateway, I can say that it truly diminished the view, ambiance and San Francisco feeling from the neighborhoods east of it.
