Let’s see, a “favored nabe yet to come” (re: the Rincon Hill area), “big bucks” (re: prices), and a “moat of congestion” (re: traffic). It sounds like John King has been “plugging in” to a few of the comments on SocketSite.
And while we’re surprised that he finds it “odd” that people living in a thriving city by a beautiful bay might invest heavily to live in an “fast-paced urban district focused on the bay,” we’re even more surprised that a member of the marketing firm for One Rincon Hill would dare mutter “it’s like living in Southern California“…

Southern California is completely different planet where a person could go for months without walking more than a block in a single day. And besides, who would actually want to live there?
