BUILDING DEVELOPMENTS
ONLY JUST COMMENCED
j. r. Howell Says Offices Are
Well Occupied

You often hear IL said of some rap
idly growing city that it is being
'overboomed' or 'overbuilt,'" said j..
r. Howell of Baldwin & Howell. And
the idea has been expressed that san
Francisco has been overbuilt- Such
opinions usually come from indivtd-
uaIs not noted for any OF ths enter
prising qualities that really build a
city and who are not much inclined
to encourage such efforts in others ;
however. they, have . detrimental ef-
feet that ought to be stopped
For the last 20 years we have heard
it said that Los Angeles was being
overboomed, and yet Los Angeles has
city of 100000 and 10 sttll CROWNS.
We hear sage remarks from people
who have absolutely no knowledge Of
real conditions. to the effect that san
Francisco is overbuilt in once build
ings. and yet / understand that 50 per
cent of the Offices are dlied- It Is
usual to figure rentals upon basis Of
IS per cent of occupancy and capital
lists are satisfied il they can keep their
buildings 20 per cent occupied,
"The truth is that San Francisco
has not hardly started its building de-
veIopments 1t hasn't even begun to
build up to the point OF development
that the industries OF this state will
gun TO grow It's possibilities are in
the infancy Of their Development;
towns and cities are Just beginning to
throw aside the swaddling clothes and
TO think that the metropolis Of Cali
fornia has reached a period OF even
temporary building stagnation is pre-
posterous.''
