San Francisco unveiled plans yesterday for the western United States' first supertall. The shortest of the three proposals is 1,200 feet, the tallest 1,375. For reference's sake, the Empire State Building is 1,250 ft. At the base of it will be California's "Grand Central Terminal" and push back against Los Angeles. San Francisco will be the global center of California again! To hell with Los Angeles! And all three design have wind turbines for clean energy, a subway station, access to BART, commuter rail down the peninsula, buses to all carriers in the Bay Area, Greyhound and, someday soon, California High-Speed Rail to Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose and Sacramento. By 2014! But where will I be?

'At the base of it will be California's "Grand Central Terminal" and push back against Los Angeles.'
What does that mean?
I meant that it will have the largest transportation terminal in the
west and definitely in California, thus attempting to reestablish SF's
prowess as the number one city in California, a status it held until
the earthquake in 1906. It is attempting to become the banking center to LA's entertainment center of the west.
