Seriously? It's been two and a half years, or more, right?

 

Seriously, demo that obsolete building, add a 12 story condo, and watch the money pour in.

Is that in a four story limited zone?

Sounds like something that would be a thing. I wish we had more tall buildings in elevated places. Like along the crest of the valley on both sides. Or like on Alpine where the Salvation Army is....man, a tall building there would have amazing views.

Looks like an additional Affordable housing development (52 units) is on the Planning Commission Agenda. Coit and Fairbanks:

This 52 unit building was approved:

Sounds like there are some parking and traffic concerns from the neighborhood.

Some updates from my little corner of Belknap Lookout.  

• The last of the Belknap Bluffs are just about done. Not sure about finish date or prices.
• The first of the units on Coit is pretty much done.  Hope they start soon on the other one, it looks great I think. Nice to have more housing in the neighborhood....hopefully soon the hood can support a coffeeshop.
• Why TF is the city paving any street and not putting in speed humps as a matter of course!? They basically paved a new quarter-mile drag strip on Fairview. Not a stop sign on the whole block....the block leading to the most popular park in GR (probably) Sunset park. SMH
