@MuseZack@WeCanShootToo re: Fisher, good comparison is the Broad in LA. Similar collections. Broad spent more time (and money) getting his museum built. Fisher proposed a massive museum in the Presidio two years before he died, after the Lucas debacle, when the difficulty was already clear
@MuseZack@WeCanShootToo the difference is why "SF didn't want his museum" isn't accurate - one park is federal, one is city. A federal board controls Presidio. Lucas could have bought the lot where they built Chase Center and put it there. As with Chicago, he wanted it on public land.
@MuseZack@WeCanShootToo which is in a national park (store was there before it was a national park). they requested changes and he was set on his retro architecture (ultimately he wasn't). city offered him Treasure Island, he didn't want it. similar story with Fishers.

@Ahsha_Safai this is not what happened. he wanted it in the Presidio, a national park, he was inflexible about their requirements. he was offered alternatives (Treasure Island) and didn't want them.

@zachklein there should be several free and easy dumpsters where people can take stuff in the city (vs drive south to recology and pay $65). would cut down on a % of this behavior and be cheaper in terms of less clean up time.
@LeBuzzdilyacin1@lionel_trolling read this still / ending as offering a sliver of redemption, after hitting rock bottom of decadence. the girl is a reminder that innocence still exists, even if he can’t reach it or hear it.
@WeCanShootToo@conor64 people put up with the negatives of san francisco to be somewhere interesting and a group of them decided "let's build a new boring town 100 miles away in a field"
@WeCanShootToo@mattyglesias tbf the building with the teal roof is circa 1928 and was once the tallest building west of the Mississippi, until LA city hall was built
