Just protective of San Francisco, then?
Given that the probability of a new big city on the West Coast is effectively zero, I felt comfortable ignoring real limitations of that plan. In reality, of course, water, seismicity, and erosion put a damper on any attractive hypothetical options.
- dragonwriter 10y ago> Just protective of San Francisco, then? It just doesn't make sense to transform a city to something its residents don't want because someone else has an aesthetic preference for it to exist somewhere.
- swampthinker 10y agoAnd I'm sure many complained when the buildings and prices of Manhattan kept climbing. The transplants to a city sooner or later become its natives, with their own desires and aesthetic preferences.
- saosebastiao 10y agoYes it does. It's current residents transformed it into what it is now from what it was before they arrived...why wouldn't we expect that to continue happening? Just cause some of them don't want it to happen?
