Fucking your Victorian aesthetics in the ass with a rectangular shaped stucco phallus

There Goes The Neighborhood['s Aesthetics]

This monstrosity was spotted on SocketSite.com, some SF real estate site that I've never heard of, but have become strangely captivated by over the last 14 minutes.  This hideous pic begs several questions.

  2. Where the fuck is it??  Commenters on SocketSite have yet to conclusively determine it's location.  
  3. Why?  DEAR GOD, WHY???

Grab your pitchforks SF neighborhood organizations.  This blockheaded piece of architecture is starting to put the term 'NIMBY' in a whole different light for me…
