Currently we are awaiting issuance of a permit from the City of SF. Once that's received, we have some equipment to order and a bit of engineering to do, so it will still take some time.

State PUC review for CEQA first, which takes some time, then the city asked for changes on our initial application, and now that we're past that, I think it's in a 30 or 60 day public notice phase.

Great picture. Even though it is an exterior photo, it reminds me of many telco equipment rooms where I used to work.

Is that the slums of Rio?

While not as bad as the above picture, the Sunset is pretty full of overhead wires:


And the Richmond, too:


Granted, both are kind of photography tricks done with telephoto lenses.
