It doesn’t fit the area. It’s ridiculous and will be glad to see lots of lawsuits stopping that monstrosity.

so that future iterations, slightly less repulsive, might be easier to sell. Kind of like setting a high-price for a flea market item knowing you'll accept 25% less.

I would think 5 ten story building would be a better option especially in earthquake state of California. Can you imagine being on the top floor of that thing during an earthquake? Yieks!

That whole area is built on sand dunes and sandstone. And the San Andreas fault is just a few thousand feet away.

Would be incredible.

For everyone already living in the area, the view OF that building would SUCK.

To say it would stick out like a sore thumb is a huge understatement. It would be an eyesore of the highest order. Probably the tallest building in a 1/2 mile radius is MAYBE 7 stories, the vast majority are 1 or 2, with some apartment buildings around 4-5 stories. It would completely ruin the landscape of the Sunset District.

And it will NOT be affordable housing.

I don't think it's gonna fly, nor should it. Most people living in Sunset have bucks, they will keep this monstrosity from fruition.

Honestly I'd LOVE to live in it for the views. But I'd feel like a giant dick in doing so.

Which is what that building is ... well, that or a middle finger.

This tower will not happen! It is ugly, obscures views and built on sand what could go wrong if we had a big earthquake?

There is a very nice garden center that a lot of people shop at, at the proposed location also.

the elevators running.

The road that runs along the ocean - unless it's covered in sand again, as is common.

Residents will have a great view of the fog rolling, and the cool ocean breezes will mean they won't need air-conditioning - although they may need heat in summer. Driving to downtown SF - where most of the business and good restaurants are - will be a bit time consuming, but the L Taraval streetcar runs past there. But they'll be close to the zoo and the sewage treatment plant (and how soon before the residents complain about the animals)

Aside from sticking out like a sore appendage, the area is literally built on sand dunes, and the San Andreas fault runs just offshore. Are these architects familiar with the area (I'm not removing my ad blocker for the chronicle)?
