people like to complain about strip malls or those little office parks.

this is why those win - it's cheaper to build & maintain them & easier to turn a profit on them.

the fancy big glass downtown skyscrapers are mostly for ego.

usually the tallest one determines who has power in that economy/city.

way back then churches used to be the tallest.

now in most cities it's the banks.

in SF - it's SalesForce Tower i.e tech is dominant
