I keep wondering how Dunder Mifflin can afford One Rincon Hill... oh *now* I get it...

I'm glad that even in this thread about an apartment complex for the top half of the 1%, we were able to rain a little hate down on poor people. Good Show SFist commenters!

since it's in front of a giant penis, there should be a theme appropriate statue in front of it. gonga gonga.

I suggest they transplant one of those Berkeley oak trees and then One Rincon Hill can be Dumpster Muffin's new address!

damn that is pretty shitty for One Rincon Hill. You'd think they'd have a fountain of some sort at least.

Oh, are you referring to the giant sharper-image ionizer that is glued onto the freeway? http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41cBwc-Ua%2BL._SL500_SL150_.jpg Too bad the architect couldn't raise the "taste level" to that of an ironic pez dispenser.

That would soon fill up with dog poop if I lived there.

I suggest that a local artist take up this cause and create a sculpture that pays homage to the area's previous residents: bums. I can imagine a broze sculpture that homeless guy that hangs out by our office with a blanket wrapped around his head one arm permantly outstretched to ask for money, the other hand holding up his pants. How fitting!

They will probably put some big flagpole or ugly block of cement and call it art, like the rest of the "landmarks" in SF

The entrance is not done. Until Caltrains finishes work on the ramp (to the left) in Sept.(?), the landscaping and features of the entrance will not be fully completed.

It looks like one of those annoying Berkeley traffic calming roundabouts, without the kid friendly murals or carefully, lovingly even, chosen native plants.
