Unlikely. Even Chris Daly's a booster. Pretty much the whole city political establishment wants the project. What's not so clear is whether they want a project that TALL--but the genesis for the height appears to be that that's what's needed to get the kind of money from developers they need to do the terminal portion of the project and so that has a lot of backing too unless somebody comes forward with a lower design that pencils out.

SEGUE . . . .

Speaking of designs, the BizTimes today is reporting the following teams are in on the design competition:

--SOM partnering with the Rockefeller Group

--Richard Rogers partnering with Forest City and SMWM

--Santiago Calatrava partnering with Kenwood Investments

and also likely, but so far uncertain are

--Norman Foster partnering with Related Companies, TMG Partners and possibly Heller-Manus.

--Shorenstein with ?

I'll try to post the article when they put up an HTML version Sunday night.
