“Sixty Spear St...has been sold [at] about a 66% discount versus the most recent assessed property value of $121 million”

Assessed...lots of appeals coming soon. There goes SF’s property tax base.

We could use them to house all the Chinese soldiers coming across the border and maybe a couple of biolabs.

You can downgrade everything within a mile by 30 to 50 percent. On property tax...it’s a bad sign where the city is going.

I would imagine within three years...mayor of SF will have to ask for a billion dollars to get them over some ‘hump’, and that will merely lead to some federal request next.

Presidio Bay does work for the public sector.

Housing for illegals is a distinct possibility.

Just raise the property taxes on those that continue to stick around. Problem solved!

A city that probably went 85-99% for Biden, and Hillary in 2016, a city that has kept Nancy Pelosi in Congress for decades, a city that has been blatantly thumbing its nose at decent American citizens and our values for a long time is now on the verge of full collapse…

I believe Obama’s America-damning pastor Jeremiah Wright called this “chickens coming home to roost.”

Yes, I believe that illegal aliens might find it quite adequate.

I'll never forget that the San Francisco Board of Supervisors rejected the gift of the Battleship Iowa as a museum ship (anti-war stance) and let it languish in the Mothball Fleet in Suisun Bay for over a decade until Los Angeles (San Pedro) took it.

Some have posted convert to living space. The problem is the water, sewage, electrical, school, and traffic usage will likely climb quite a bit with this conversion. I am not sure when it becomes overwhelmed.

“Just turn them into immigrant housing.”


From what I’ve read lately, that is the plan for many of these empty office buildings.

Why in the world would ANYBODY buy an office building in the San Francisco financial district? What does Presidio Bay Ventures see in it? I'm surprised they didn't get a 90% or 95% discount. Seems like snagging it at a 66% discount is no bargain.

Who is "Presidio Bay Ventures"? From their web site, they have $5.4 billion, 5.2 million sq ft, in 38 projects (not clear if completed, underway, planned, etc) across eight states.

Mark Simone...a great NYC talk host...often talks about the percentage of people who commuted to Manhattan before the Wuhan Flu Panic who have now returned. Just the other day he mentioned a figure of around 40% (I heard “forty” but didn’t hear the rest...so it could have even been 49%).

Even at 70% off... someone just signed up for some very painful property taxes!

Sixty Spear St. is located on Mission Street near the water. Excellent location and surrounded by tall buildings. 66% off? Not good for the local market.
