Ryugyong Hotel-tier. Isn't that thing 47 stories too tall for that 'hood? Is the developer going to enter a John Deere riding mower and a primer grey 90s Ford Explorer on 24s in the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance?

Yeah, there is nothing like it on this side of the city. It is outrageous on many levels. They are redesigning Sloat to be bike friendly and pedestrian safe(reducing traffic).. Great Highway is closed to cars on weekends and Holidays and sand swept days. Sand/beach erosion is removing the southern end of the Great Highway. So if built, it will be a huge traffic mess.

The shade footprint from that monstrosity alone (when the sun is out) would be horrendous. This should politically mobilize alot of neighborhood homeowners and residents that would otherwise stay away from politics.2700 Sloat Blvd
"City officials aren’t yet on board with the project. City staff wrote in a response to the new proposal that the building would be 316% taller than the area’s zoning regulations allow for, according to SF Yimby. The San Francisco Planning Department also wrote that the revised plan does not comply with the city’s planning code, meaning that rezoning would need to take place in order for the building to become a reality."

Grease the right palms and anything can happen. This is apparently the third concept created for the building, so they've already submitted other iterations that failed. It's interesting they got this far, but if they decide to rezone that area to allow for it, then ...Hard to imagine that bldg would get built if only due to building shadow ordinances.

There's a great little breakfast joint on that block. What kind of a greedy heartless bastard would want to build a 50 story right there?2700 Sloat Blvd

I get the ethos here but this proposal IMHO is pretty far from what you're talking about.Bunch of NIMBYs here. SF is a progressive city at least by American standards it's time we progressed with the rest of the developed world and nothing is more progressive than housing. Europeans and East Coasters are laughing at this aversion to high rise development. Also those of you whining about Gavin and Weiner - look, you voted for them, I voted for them. We'll vote for Gavin again when he runs for POTUSA. At the end of the day we like them and we like what they stand for. They were born here and they care about the state. That is why we chose them. Also @One-Off there is nothing socialist or progressive about NIMBYism, quite the opposite. NIMBYism is actually selfishness defined!

I was thinking they'd borrow this tech from the Japanese.........Super good point about Millennium Tower, which is a total shitshow. I bet in the end they spend a billion to take it down.
<sarc>Bbbut, there will be 15 low income units. You are so mean. It's for the children. Don't you know there is a huge housing crisis? </sarc>I get the ethos here but this proposal IMHO is pretty far from what you're talking about.
Europeans will purposely keep central business districts and high rises away from certain areas for aesthetic value. This construction is at the exact opposite corner of the city from where it belongs.
A non-trivial number of NYC people absolutely detest the eyesore residential high rises popping up in Manhattan. If you think the brownstone set in Brooklyn is going in for one of those things in Park Slope, that's a negative Rafterman.
You leave Manhattan and forget it. Where I grew up on the Treasure Coast has a ban on sh!t over like 2-3 stories - unless you grease all the right palms. You see lots of build-up sh!t in DC, or do you see lots of articles about affordability and traffic in Northern Virginia?
You think this gleaming monstrosity is going to be about high density affordable housing and walkability, situated about as far as possible from the high employment zone of the city?
It'll be luxury penthouses owned by a holding company based in the Bailiwick of Guernsey, itself a wholly owned subsidiary of some sh!t in the Cayman Islands, which is the investment arm of some Canal Zone outfit owned by a consortium in Malta that currently is majority-controlled by an enterprise in Macau. AKA an executive at TikTok or Huawei ducking the ChiComs and the rest of the regulatory apparatus.
It is said that the tower's observation deck enjoys the most beautiful view in all of Paris because it is the only place from which the tower cannot be seen.
Another lie perpetuated by the right wing media. Fellas, the world is changing and the population is growing. High density housing is the future. Skyscrapers are the sign of a world class city. And yes, they’e going to be in your backyard, because just like you other people want to enjoy the beach too. You can either change with it or be left behind pouting, miserable, and bitter. Or move to Texas.As 100's of thousands of people are leaving California...
SF was built on greasy palms.This one immediately comes to mind -
maybe others will follow, maybe it’ll be a reminder of what happens when the palm greasers win.
