Why don't we do the ultimate thing? Use the green grass roofs to host 49er games? No need for a new stadium!

How are they going to reduce water consumption and still water the green roofs? Astroturf?

I wonder what happened to that bus stop grass roof project next to the Asian Art Museum. Did the city forget to water them?

I'm thinkin what's really going on is that many of these buildings have a roof coming up on the end of its life-cycle and this is creative way to generate support for the expenditures in tough times.

They could try to power city hall by having hobos run on treadmills in exchange for crack.

Sure they will, and the PUC building was going to have wind turbines and be all green, and we all know who that is turning out.

More spiders = fewer flies, and I can get behind that.
