When did naming public buildings after living politicians become the thing to do? This incredibly ugly structure at 90 7th Street in San Francisco has been named after one-time and possible future Speaker of the US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi. The latest news indicates that employees working in the building have been advised to work from home due to the increasing level of crime in the city.
The naming of a government asset after a living politician is actually a fairly common practice. Sen. Robert Byrd's name was attached to over 30 different roads and buildings while he was a senator from West Virginia.

A golf center in Columbia, South Carolina has been named after Democratic Senator James E. Clyburn.
There are many other examples. It's nice to see that these public servants will have left concrete evidence of their service to their constituents.
