When asked to explain I would respond "Those structures look like a line of pimples on the lower jaw of the face of the city."<br /><br />The only time a string of garages makes sense is when they fill in a vertical terrain gap (e.g. Stockton St. Garage in San Francisco). Also, those garages should be made with the usual amenities : ground floor retail, set-backs, planters on the ribs (for a Hanging Garden effect), and a roof-top plaza / park. A side benefit would be signage for wheelchair users guiding them to the elevators so that they can go up or down easily instead of having to go around.<br /><br />Sutter + Stockton to Bush + Stockton<br />1) Sutter -> Grant -> Bush -> Stockton = three (3) blocks<br />2) Into garage, up elevator, out onto Bush a few feet from Stockton = just over a blockMB94128https://www.blogger.com/profile/04494572766051396972noreply@blogger.com
