As per the photographic evidence at right, SPUR, the San Francisco Planning and Urban Research Association, has broken ground on its new $16.5 million, 12,000 square foot Urban Center at 654 Mission Street that had us swooning a few months back. When the place is finished in 2009 (or thereabouts), the building will serve as a space for the public to learn about and discuss urban issues in San Francisco—so, soon, everyone's complaints on policy and planning will be that much more informed—and that much more irritating. Get psyched.
