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.
