Before the Fall, that area was one of the liveliest in the US.

I feel like companies and people should be forced to stay in the hell hole they helped create.

Curious if any new stores have moved in?   At one time SF had like 50 Starbucks.  I wonder how many now?

While I despise that place and most who inhabit it; I think that construction needs to be required to complete or demolish, by law. Its shit to have some unfinished skeleton just sitting around attracting homeless, crime, lack of upkeep, structural integrity, etc...

Again, I give no shits about that place but, I don;t like the precedent that it could happen where I live.

Vegas was littered with these kinds of unfinished projects in 08' and 09'. It's a blight on the city, but since it's San Francisco, no one will probably notice.

Parts of the Bay area looks like a demilitarized zone anyway.

Seems to be more resistant to homelessness than perhaps unionization.  And amazingly it is claimed they are gate kept for the good jobs to mostly white folks…..albeit gender fluid ones.

Charlottesville has one. They would halt construction and foreclose only to have the devoloper buy it for “cash” and start the whole process over. 15 years it’s been an empty shell, right on the downtown strip.

They should complete it and move all the homeless in.  Those people will immediately become productive and the city will thrive again.

Win-win.

They just need to wall the city off and turn it into a maximum security prison. Half the residents wouldn't even need to move.

It was such an amazing city at one time. I'm glad I got to see it before it turned into a massive, violent, chaos-toilet.

Yup.  I moved to Louisa County in 2010, and it was an issue before I arrived.  The upside is that when the new denser zoning ordinances get passed, the Dewberry won't look so out of place.

You get what you vote for. Imagine that???

My liberal nephew and his family moved to a town out of Frisco because of cost. I’m sure the crime isn’t helping either.

Sucks for the few non woke working class trying to stay there.

Brings to mind the Bible verse about building a tower. That you should have the money to complete it before you start it…….

Sounds like they had the money, stupidity destroyed the chance of it paying for itself.

Pride goes before the fall or something.
