Very well said! Vistas of the bay, the bridges, the hills, the lesser cities across the bay
, are all part of what makes this city so graphic, and they are being lost from a lot of
public spaces. Quite honestly, I think this city is less beautiful than it was 10 years ago, and the only reason for it is that some of the buildings that have gone up are misplaced, plain, ugly, or all three. I know this is an unpopular stance, but for god's sake we really need to stop making everything out of blue and green glass -- we're starting to look like Houston!
