The current building boom will bring us the tallest and third tallest buildings in the city, feature about a bazillion millions of vertical glass, and possibly repaint the image of a certain San Francisco slumlord. Here now, a map featuring all of the city's towers (15 or more floors) currently under construction or headed for a 2013 groundbreaking.
