tl, dr - It will cost $50 million in lawyer's fees to determine what to do with a $10 million property.

I’ve kinda gotten into watching videos of old houses being restored, and this makes me sad. I wonder if it’ll ever get figured out and taken care of, or if it’ll be too far gone and will just get leveled.

State assembly member matt haney got Lagos, Nigeria to be sister cities with San Francisco. Like two weeks ago. (I hate this type of virtue signalling pointless legislation btw)

Maybe he knows about this building and did this fluff piece of legislation to hopefully address the building in the future? I'm undoubtedly being too optimistic.

I'm sure SF would love a Nigerian consoluate general.

I'd love to see every potential residence occupied with residents but if I were the city government, I'd probably not be pestering a foreign government about much, especially if they're paying their taxes.
