Affordable Housing Developers Hope to Build Tall in Mission District
- maxharris 10y agoThat's only nine stories, and they're calling that tall? When beautiful skyscrapers stretch to 70+ stories, nine is anything but tall.
- dagw 10y agoTall is relative. If you're several stories taller than any other building in the neighborhood then you're a tall building.
- maxharris 10y agoHow much more expensive would it be if they made each unit have a nicer ceiling height? A decent room needs to be taller than eight feet. Old buildings often have ceilings that are 10-12 feet from the floor. Once a basic structural feature like this is built into a building, it's basically impossible to fix it without tearing the structure down. If and when people get richer in the future, and want something better, they are going to be stuck with this thing, which is a shame.
