I'm reading The Power Broker at the moment, and the Ferry Building book sounds like it's along similar lines. I'd love to check it out!

Yes, I have "The Power Broker" on my list! Totally similar vibes. San Francisco didn't have that powerful singular figure exactly like Robert Moses but there was a small group of powerful people who did push things through that maybe weren't in the best interest of the city. Then the citizens came to their senses in the 50s & 60s and started opposing everything, haha.
