I hope this doesn’t chill demand for residential skyscrapers in SF. It seems like this building is (arguably justifiably) getting a lot of attention but there are multiple ongoing and completed projects that are a good solution to alleviate the housing crisis. Yes they’re all “luxury” condos but they’re satisfying some demand at least.
Towers are I guess the worst and least convenient way to alleviate housing crisis. Raising a few of the city’s hundreds of thousands of detached single-family houses to 2-to-7-story apartment houses would be a lot better, cheaper, faster, and easier.
