Also, San Francisco is already ugly. It's not like you'd be razing historically important beaux arts buildings to build more.

In my experience, San Francisco is a beautiful city when viewed from a distance, but rather unfriendly and dirty up close.

Really? The view from Sausalito is mistakable for that of a garbage dump.

Beautiful and ugly architecture can be pretty subjective. But, yeah, SFists have an above average tendency towards preservation. Not even sure why when in most other senses SFists believe in change.

Environmentalism is a movement devoted to stasis for its own sake; I bet it would poll pretty well in SF.

Many would disagree.

But if you think it's ugly, that's fine -- you don't need to visit or live there.
