Instead of joining in on the argument here, I'll just add the the SF Federal Building itself is somewhat architecturally interesting and contentious. Here's an initial review: https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/new-federal-building-open-to-the-public-3191225.php https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/new-federal-building-...
