Opponents, including seven members of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, say it would lead to density in inappropriate places and accelerate gentrification.

I'm no expert, but it sounds like SF needs to get rid of these fuckos.

Homebucket, 181 Fremont looks so fire. I keep dismissing this tower, just because it's in the middle of a bunch of boring glass structures. But damn, every angle has a unique look. So weird how the angles of the building make it look somewhat deformed, but looks so cool. Thanks for the pictures.

Are you referring to the SF Board of Supervisors? Many of us here would love to get rid of most of them but it's not happening. Our very "progressive" board enjoys considerable support city-wide and the development picture has just gotten worse with the appointment of long-time development opponent Calvin Welch to the Planning Commission.

The usual situation in CA is that crazy SF city policies have to be tempered at the state level and that's what we are hoping for from Wiener's bill. However, with a very liberal ex-SF Mayor as governor now, I have to wonder if he would sign Wiener's bill even should it pass.

before these get too stale, a couple Mid-Market projects...

950-974 Market:

looking back the other way

... and the mid-block traffic signal on Second between Mission and Howard has been turned on...

and the little alleyway between it and the transit center is coming along

crosswalks still need permanent striping

I personally can't wait until those projects on Mid-Market are finished. I keep hoping that at some point we'll reach a critical mass of new development and middle class or affluent residents that it gets the police to pay attention and the street turns the corner from being scary and crime-ridden.

It looks like there's some demo happening at the 235 Valencia site:

Not sure what version of the design will be built but DDG seems to be running the show.

It's a smaller-ish project but around the corner from this one which will add a couple hundred units and a "living alley" to a sleepy, underserved part of the Mission once built.

View from the Asian Art Museum 2nd floor. The blue crane is at the Hastings Law School addition which has raised the skyline view from the Civic Center plaza.
