I just saw it as people trying to set the facts straight. That should always be appreciated.

Atleast the clock tower itself does not look as bad as this: https://strata.ca/slate-image/property-images/1780/00_Watermark%20Long%20Branch_3563%20Lake%20Shore%20Blvd%20W-640.jpg But the effect of the whole development is the same. Completely ruined what started out with the restoration of the old ...

Hopefully the nearby Dallas Decorative Center is not being redeveloped by anyone and remains as it is.

You basically have to build a meglev rail system and build it in a vacuum tube.

Also all registered voters can get mail-in ballot. Has been like that since I moved here more that 10 years ago. Never have had to vote in person. I went to the polling station only to drop off the mail-in ballot since I did not trust USPS to deliver in time this year. I had the option to drop it of...

Yuck. I don't like the "refresh." It looks outdated. The original design is sleek and cool. Just clean it up and replace materials, but don't change the original architectural vision. The original architectural vision was already destroyed decades ago in the previous refresh which left it...

Too many pessimists on this string... Will Uber ride off to Dallas with its headquarters? As cost-cutting pressures mount, speculation intensifies that Uber could move its San Francisco headquarters to lower-cost Dallas. https://www.bizjournals.com/sanfrancisco/news/2020/05/01/will-uber-ride-off-to...

Tesla picks Austin and Tulsa as finalists for new US factory

The new factory will be Tesla's biggest so far. The electric car maker has said it wants the factory to be in the center of the country and closer to East Coast markets.

I can't read the article since its behind the pay wall, but is this anything more than musings of a business reporter and civic boosters? Has the company itself made any move so that one can even try to wonder if it is just playing to get incentive from California/SF. Because the chances of them get...

Hopefully does not meet the street with a wall and/or a valet car park, continuing the current trend of new buildings in the area being less integrated with the streets than the older ones they are replacing.

I really don't care for AMLI's 80's throwback architecture made that much worse by imitating Fountain Place. I think hanging garden architecture on this one is great for Dallas if they follow through. The problem is the wall created by the parking podium, which is the shame with so many of the new b...

App based solutions are just a tiny portion of startups happening here. In my small circle of friends, I have one working at Spacex on their constellation project for satellite based internet access, one working at a startup building various electric self-flying planes from personal ones to medium s...

Having grown up in Dallas and now being in SF and still following this forum, this is almost like reaction of Blockbuster's move to Dallas unaware about the disruption about to happen with NetFlix. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.forbes.com/sites/donnafuscaldo/2019/12/04/mobile-trading-app-robinhoo...

Charles Schwab’s move to DFW shakes up leaderboard in region already undergoing changes One would think, after losing Toyota, McKesson and now Schwab that somebody would start scratching their head and at least wonder why this keeps happening. Nothing to wonder about or scratch their head about. Re...

So is Lyft's. Their initial success was dependent on providing a better taxi service and from customer standpoint have succeeded admirably.

Too bad its not something similar to this that TC is trying to get approved in San Francisco. https://socketsite.com/archives/2019/06/taller-transbay-district-tower-slated-for-approval.html Trammel Crow Residential is now seeking approval for a 42-story tower to rise up to 444 feet in height on the ...

Uber already has small discrete Office in West End. They have an idea what Dallas has to offer. Hope this HQ happens. Snapchat also small place in Deep Ellum. Its not a HQ. Their current HQ is in SF and they are currently finishing out a 1.1 million square foot new HQ campus there close to the new ...

The secret HQ2: How Amazon quietly raised a Bay Area army of engineers

utgf

The current McKesson HQ is just a block from my condo in the city. Interesting that there is no coverage of this move in the local newspaper. With the tech boom, non-tech companies are finding it harder to justify the costs of staying in SF. Quite a few have moved out recently but vacancy remains lo...

Only in Dallas could a building built in 1980's be a better urban design than one to be built in 2020's to replace it. When they talk about open space, did not realize they meant open space for cars.

Lol this encapsulates SF’s freak out over everything and nothing. Are there electric scooters? Umm, they exist, I suppose. A couple. That you can occasionally spot. But lol at “scores of companies studding SF sidewalks with an abundance of electric scooters.” At least in the financial district, the...

Pro tip: never trust Bay Area residents' perceptions of development or population changes. A couple of buildings is a building boom and a small population increase is a wave of people. Thank goodness that you are such a pro! What exactly are we gaining by further growth? When I lived in Dallas 11 y...
