"This is the most disgusting thing on the face of the planet. They spent all this money; they just planted it there. They could have put that money into art for our schools, and they put it here instead for the benefit of people from San Francisco."

"It's not as bad as I imagined it could be. I'm glad it's not bigger. I understand the original was destroyed in a fire. Sometimes it's good to see what fate is hinting at."

Claudia Carvalho

"This is so cool; very nice. This is the world."

Camille Diges

"I'm seeing it for the first time. I think it's nice."
