Well said and I agree completely.

This development push is nothing more than a developers boondoggle made possible by weak and/or colluding city leadership.

Both the Carlisle Condo Building and the Daskalos Condos across from the Flying Star are build right up to the sidewalk and loom over existing historic  architecture. The poor residents of Campus Drive south of the Daskalos Condos lost their southern views and southern exposure. These same residents protested to the city but their protests fell on deaf ears. The units for sale  in both projects start at over $375,000 which is hardly affordable housing.  Recent sales in the Dascalos Building range from $439,000 to $550,000.

If the Carlisle were not built to all sides of the property line then it would be less likely that water would have ruined the foundation of this  small historic house. Looming Buildings also ruin views. I personally enjoy the architecture of  Immanuel Presbyterian Church at the corner of Carlisle and Silver that was designed by John Gaw Meen. It is a vintage historic  American church.  In the past, when traveling south on Carlisle from Lomas it has been my pleasure  to see the church come into view. Now I see only the looming Carlisle.
