[Carfreeliving] Treassure Island mass development, green?

[Joshua Switzky]

I think John King hit on an important point: no towers should come close in
height to the Bay Bridge towers. The bridge is one the most important
structures and visual symbols of the bay area, and we shouldn't muddle it
up with other towers in the bay nearby. I'm not a fan of towers in the bay
at all the view from the east bay to SF and vice versa is our postcard view
-- the flat expanse of the bay connected by a grand bridge with a city
rising up dramatically on either side. To stick a bunch of towers in the
middle of that, competing with all the other elements, is just
short-sighted. And in fact, they are not necessary to achieve the density
sought, which could be achieved with a few more 8 story buildings.   I lean
more to turning the entire island into a wetland wildlife/bird preserve. I
do like the organic farming idea.
