The fate of the twisty cylinder at 555 Washington has been put on hold for another month. To celebrate the occasion, the Chron has one of those columns that seems to get published every time a big building's fate hangs in the balance. We know it well: "This is actually a battle for the soul of new San Francisco." Choose your side carefully, and choose it well! "Shrinkwrapped" "mausoleum" city, or dynamic, changing all the time city? It's one or the other, see. There's also a SPUR quotable on the earnestness of NIMBYs: "They honestly think they should never have to see new building — ever." [SFGate, previously]
