Ron's LinkedIn claims he was an AI CEO.

Can't build housing that blocks views of the Golden Gate Bridge from all* the districts in SF. Which is why we should build a Golden Gate Bridge in every district!!!

Great project. wrong location. if this goes through it will unleash turning the marina green into Manhattan. the GG Bridge won't be seen from D1, D2, D4, D3, D5, D7, d8, d9. it grounds out community.
