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.
