On the one hand I’m in favor of building more affordable housing but I can understand the viewpoint of keeping the culture of your local community intact. See what Google did to Playa Vista, it’s a really jarring, sterile contrast with the rest of LA. Primarily soulless buildings, almost Soviet Style, to house their slaves.
We all need to push back against multinational corporations who would turn our local communities into the company towns of old, if given the chance.
- astrange 4y agoIf you don't like a building then change the building code so they can't build it. But make sure it's an objective standard, otherwise there's a law (the HAA) that says you can't block it. SF still runs on a system (discretionary review) that basically means people like you get to show up with subjective complaints about anything anyone anywhere does. You'll find the only way to satisfy you and someone else with different taste is if nobody builds anything.
