Did you seen that there are interesting/mean comments about SOMA Grand floating around at SocketSite?
- "There is simply no excuse for a building to look this ordinary, dull, and just plain ugly."
- "If you drive by Van Ness and Pine, this looks like another Holiday Inn."
- "There was a chance for it to be a quiet background building framing the Fed, instead of something ugly that is in the way."
- "I think this project is strange in that Chip Conley in the past has been a very creative thinker/developer."

Does the developer care to respond? It seems like few of the writers understand the design constraints involved.
Thanks,
Robert
