A few years ago I would have thought that it was great this area is getting infill but now it feels like a missed opportunity.

There shouldn't be any height or density limits here, this is a great place to add density that shouldn't be as politically charged as most of the East Side given that there's very little SF residential in the immediate area, it's all former industrial space and adjacent to a major road interchange. I know that the proximity to the airport would probably limit heights but we should be building 10-15 stories here instead of 4. That's really the frustrating thing in this city: I understand that many of the current density nodes are going to be politically charged but this area is effectively a blank slate that can only be improved by urban development and it's still being hamstrung by ridiculous limitations.

Otherwise I dig the dark brick.
