Skywatch Friday: new condos downtown

Our former mayor and now governor promoted the building of new residential housing downtown.  Here's an example.  Warm days and clear skies have been here for about two weeks.  September typically has our warmest weather and we're glad it's here.  For additional sky views, visit Skywatch Friday.

    Great shot - they look like doll's houses!! Wonder if the colours show the boundary of each unit - if so, the rust coloured one is amazing!!

    I don't have a frame of reference to know if you like these or not! To me they look like standard European city housing, which is reducing the differences between our individual countries.

    But a blue sky like that is good anywhere!

    Hats off to Jerry Brown for having the vision and tenacity to get the revitalization of downtown Oakland started. It would have been nice if he had been able to get even more of it done.

    It is good to have downtown housing. Not sure if I can get really excited about the architecture, though . . .

    It may be a wall of standard condo highrise,but I can appreciate the earthy color schematics

    My mother lived in Oakland and San Francisco as a child and always told me that Fall had the best weather.
    I'm not sure what to think about the condos, they are a bit too industrial looking for my taste.
