Transbay Suit Averted

After threatening legal action over a tax-rate hike in the tax district formed to help pay for the $2.6 billion Transbay Transit Center, a group of property owners in the area has decided not to sue after all.
The owners, including Salesforce Tower developers Hines and Boston Properties, had 30 days to object to the tax district, which was passed December 29. [Previously; SFGate/Photo: Patricia Chang]
