February 13, 2005: San Francisco 5
San Francisco's zoning laws restrict most of the city's buildings to be less than 6 stories tall, so you can feel the sun on most streets. However, like most cities, its financial district is full of narrow streets and tall buildings that tower over each other. As a result, the entire area is cast in shadows, and it is a good 5 degrees cooler in the area.
The Transamerica Building (shown here) is the most famous structure in the financial district. When I lived out in San Francisco, I worked there for a few months. The job sucked, but the view at work was amazing -- I could see the entire city from the top of the building.
