ParticipantI don’t see why an 86 year old “Spanish Colonial Revival” home is “historic”. Steve Job’s dad probably could have lived in it new. Now if it were an original Spanish Colonial you might have something.

Guest[quote=UCGal] Now downtown is gentrified, yuppified, and corporatized. That’s ok… but it’s not for me. I liked the old grittiness. Even if I did have to deal with the occasional whino on my doorstep.
[/quote]I believe that we agree on more than we might think.
If we want organic growth, we need to make it easy for the small individual lot owners to partner with small builders to build and expand based on their own small budgets and the organic needs of the community.
Otherwise, we end up with decay; and decades later, revelopment districts that condemn properties for large developers with hundred million dollar budgets. We end up with a master-planned, corporatized lifestyle.
