Hugo Hotel
06.16.09 (10:15 am)   [edit]

Located on 6th and Howard Streets, San Francisco. Abandoned for many years, artistically rendered in 1997 by Brian Groggin. Entitled the "Defenestration Building."

defenestration: the act of throwing (something or someone) out of a window.

BTW, I did four more videos (from different angles) of that building:

Yeah. I used to live down there in the late 70s. But there were no palm trees.

S.F. City & County has illogical priorities to plant exotica outside of a dump. If they raze the building, will they carefully place the palms in holding pots to be replanted after a new foundation is laid? (Probably not). If the foundation and I-beams are secure enough, they could simply replace the 1930s walls with drywall, re-plumb and rewire. Trouble is, the white collar stuffed shirts in City Hall are not realistically in touch with the tasks and costs of the blue collar real men who would be doing the work.

Hence, another contention bone exacerbating the social divisions between the inhabitants of that dense pressure cooker of a city.
