There was an election on Tuesday. Being an “off year” election day, you may not have even been aware of it. Yet there was a victory had by a Major League team that will change their fortunes and continue to keep their competitors firmly in the rear-view mirror.
San Francisco voters passed something that was generically called ‘Proposition D’… and it wasn’t close: the margin was almost 3-to-1. Seems there is a height restriction on buildings in the neighborhood around AT&T park. That restriction has been erased by Tuesday’s results.
The proposal allowed for a waiver of height restrictions in the area around AT&T Park, enabling the team to go ahead with their so-called Mission Rock proposal.
