Renderings of a proposed 50-story skyscraper on a one-acre lot in this San Francisco neighborhood would stick out like the giraffes do at the zoo across the street.
Out of the 712 units, 115 of them would be affordable, according to the latest application submitted by CH Planning to the San Francisco Planning Department on April 11. The problem is that the neighborhood is not zoned for a 500-foot building, according to city officials., which gives developers more favorable development requirements in exchange for building more affordable housing units.
“It simply defies logic that a building in a 100-foot height district seeking a 50% bonus could somehow rise to 560 feet,” Sider said in a statement. “While we agree that this site is ripe for housing and we hope to work with the developer to achieve that, there is no provision in state or local law to permit the downtown-style building that’s been proposed.
The project has seen pushback from at least one group, Save Our Neighborhoods San Francisco, which balked at the previous proposed rendering and took up a petition to try and stop it. The group says it has collected nearly 1,900 signatures to ask the city to shut down the project.While other expensive cities have excelled at using a new federal program to get vulnerable families off the streets, San Francisco hasn’t kept up.
Talk about a dumb idea
Elon and twitter have empty office space.
As long as it is tall enough to spot ALL OF THE human feces & stabbings going on in San Fran.👍
Then comes the 'muh neighborhood character' NIMBYs
Guess they'd better plan some other tall buildings for the area so that it doesn't stand out.
It’s ok to change a city’s skyline.
Hopefully it’s designed with a needle catcher and a human waste sluice to cater to the bum population that will pay certainly be inhabiting its perimeter within minutes of its completion
The first four stories don't count as they will be fortified war zones against the zombie crime horde.
Can’t wait to know how it fairs in an eahquake.
What is “San Francisco “
Awesome. That neighborhood is a wasteland.
lmao
Sometimes you just have to ask yourself, “Why?”
Who cares? Let it stick out. That's fairly tall, but neighborhoods that mix 3-5 story buildings with the occasional larger ones have their own aesthetic.
You wouldn’t even notice the height of the building since that’s fog city right there.
Oh, look, LA Times doing more NIMBY propaganda.
Scott Weiner pushes stuff like this and worse.
Nope, doesn't look weird at all.
It's only one quake away from being 2-3 stories.
$1 says it will never get built.
Boo 👎
And fall down. On peoples houses. Because nobody will be living in this travesty.
The bldg would be located just south of the residential neighborhood (funny that it's called Sunset) and would cast a long cold shadow in the cold winter months. At 500 ft tall, during the winter solstice in SF the shadow would stretch out 663 feet across the neighborhood.
Yeah, but, just a little…
