I mentioned 555 Howard above

I didn't mention 75 Howard specifically because I haven't heard anything about imminent activity there - anyone know anything?

75 Howard might be stalled due to china cracking down on foreign investments (from what I remember the developer is Chinese), or its in a nimby battle, maybe it's both, not sure

They just got a demolition permit for the parking garage. They also have a site permit. They haven't submitted any addenda.

The surface parking lot at Jones and Golden Gate has been fenced off in preparation for the 1066 Market St project. Been a long time coming.

sure enough, demolition has started...



as seen from the south



while we're in the area, elsewhere around Mission Bay...

the projects on 17th St, on either side of Arkansas







Hooper St is getting a makeover. this is a street that didn't use to have formal sidewalks, and was a major homeless camp magnet. looking west from 7th:



back the other way, where some of the original cobbles are still peeking out





looking east down Mariposa at the little project at Tennessee



slightly better lighting for the east slope of Potrero Hill



815 Tennessee starting to show some skin

I think it spreads more misinformation than it debunks.

My understanding is that "high-quality transit" is defined so low that he'd be upzoning the entire city.

It's easy to set up a few strawmen ("It'll change my neighborhood to Dubai!"), then knock them down.

And I think the answers to some of the questions are false, for example:

Will SB 827 cause gentrification or lead to demolition of existing neighborhoods? [false as to "demolition"]

Will SB 827 quickly change the character and feel of my neighborhood?

Will SB 827 end local control over zoning?

And this one (633 Folsom) is set to break ground in June - From The Registry SF:

And more info from the Business Times:

The Swig Co. will break ground in June on the city's only large new office building slated to open in 2020.

The project includes a five-story addition of nearly 100,000 square feet atop a 1966 office building developed by Swig, one of San Francisco's oldest landlords. The existing building will receive a new facade, upgraded heating, air and seismic systems, two new elevators and a new public plaza.
