John King has some sympathy for good designs, but one can't depend on his soft stands to fight for great architecture, urbanism and defeat NIMBYsm and cultural philistines in the Bay Area. Evident in his writings.... No one alone can transcend the provincialism and the status quo maintaining epicureans of San Francisco to progressiveness and visionary citizens.
