Susan:  Thank you for describing our neighborhood so well and what has been happening to it through overzealous development.  I agree with you on all counts.

I see no evidence of the City supporting affordable housing in Nob Hill 
or of the City enforcing zoning regulations that complement the historic 
nature of Nob Hill. 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.

The small house south of the Carlisle Condos suffered major water damage 
when the fire department fought the fire at the Carlisle. The foundation 
may not be repairable.  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.

Nob Hill is old Route 66. Nob Hill is a historic treasure. Do not let it 
be ruined. Pay attention to the decisions that the city has make up to 
this point about zoning,  architectural design, lack of setbacks, and 
catering to developer rather than protecting the residents of the area.
