From the title of your post, I thought I am gonna read through crypto techie stuff but I was surprised that it was not.

With the fast industrialization these days, it is not a surprise to see tall buildings popping up here and there especially of course in cities. Based on your photos, I would say the urban planning is still very good in that area because of fairly enough open spaces. I say that is enough because ours here are crowded. Sometimes you have to elbow yourself around. 😃

Thanks for sharing your photos and giving us a quick tour of SoMa. I came across your article through @zorank who featured it on his post as an entry for Pay It Forward Curation Contest. The contest is open to everyone so you are welcome to join.
