Yep, it's a POPOS!
Easy to miss. But this little piece of urban 'scape is actually public. Yes, I know--it's a sidewalk. But you really can be here. Any time, day or night.
Any ideas of how much density bonus this got the owner?
The plaque. Notice the quotation marks around the text.
Getting there This
tiny seating area is located directly if front of the Charles Schwab building
on the northwest corner of California and Front Street. It is a mere extension
of the sidewalk on Front Street..
Surveillance & Gatekeepers The
Charles Schwab building has a full view of the seating area from its large
glass walls. There are no direct gatekeepers to this space probably from
the fact that surrounding pedestrian crowds can view any suspicious activity..
Local Dress & Behavior Although
formal business attire to street casual is accepted in this space, spending
a more than a few minutes may feel awkward because of the close proximity
to pedestrian traffic..
