Why can't he just buy some land and put it there?? Why does it have to be some public open space, of which we have little left in SF anyways??
Edited: For example, why not buy one (or two) of these piers, and put a giant Enterprise-shaped museum there? https://goo.gl/maps/FVWFuPvgi292 https://goo.gl/maps/FVWFuPvgi292
- geodel 10y agoI think that will be such an unbillionairly thing to do. I see billionaires like to push personal motivations as public agenda all so often.

- anigbrowl 10y agoIt's not the land, it's the planning permission. It's not like you can do anything you want on your own piece of land in a city. Cities also want amenities that bring tourism and set aside lands for projects like this.
- 1024core 10y agoThe holdup here (as well in Chicago and LA, from what I've read) has always been his desire to get free land. If he had the land, I don't think it'd be difficult for him to get permission to put up his mausoleum, I mean, museum.
- anigbrowl 10y agoMaybe, but have you ever sat in on contentious planning meetings? IT's a great way to undermine any lingering faith in democracy you had :-(
