With development along the Highway through the Loop how long until a real and attainable proposal is launched to create park land over the sunken roadway?

750K and even that seems to be too high. There are a lot of Park Slope Apartments available. This one is so skinny, with way too little closet space; there’s really only enough room for one to live there.

BTW, I didn’t see this a few hours ago when I checked on the website. It says it was posted at 3:30 p.m. I’m only an hour behind. How do I get a more updated access? Right now I use a conventional Android browser. Thank you for your time!

Well, at least it is clean. Narrow floor plan and limited options for creating a dining area, but it is Park Slope & I appreciate a floor-through unit. I’ll guess $949,000.

Not nuts about the floorplan. Where do you eat? You get one very shallow closet and a closet in each bedroom. That’s it? Where do you put your stuff? My son rents a parlor floor apartment in Park Slope with a WAY better layout. I would offer $645k for this apartment. I hope I don’t get a call from them!

Who ever wrote this article needs to do better research there are plenty of homes that have sold for more than that in Ansley park. The house next door to us sold for 4 mil and is the biggest property in Ansley park. They are tearing down the historic home on the property and building a home 3 time the size of this one.

I can imagine a future if these socialist get their way we will have to apply to a "citizens" housing allocation board to get permission to move into a neighborhood in their efforts to preserve neighborhood character and culture. This is a political move to preserve their voting base and to keep them riled up with a race class conflict over housing and development. The fact is neighborhoods have changed over years, the Gayborhood has shifted from the gold coast in the 50s to Boy’s Town in the 80s and 90s to Edgewater, Rogers Park and Andersonville today, even Pilsen has switched from white central European to Hispanic and now is becoming a blend of a little bit of every one. I don’t want committees or politicians deciding where people can live in the interest of keeping a community segregated by race ethnicity, religion or class. This and other policies are aimed at preserving segregation as a means of securing political representation for Socialist and far left political actors.

Dockless still seems like the way to go, just with strict rules about where to park them and penalties if they’re not parked correctly. I walk by several BlueBikes docks a day and not infrequently I see someone sitting on a bike hoping someone else will come take one out of the dock so they can park theirs and end their ride. That’s incredibly inconvenient. And if there’s a popular event somewhere it basically guarantees you won’t be able to park your bike where you actually want to go. No thanks.

The real question that should be asked is, how can we make San Francisco more fair to everyone?
Who is in the majority? The Middle Class. San Francisco is broken for the majority. All the attention and much funds are funneled from the middle class to those who may need constant subsidy to live here.

There’s been a toxic income inequality narrative that paints San Francisco as being just about the rich and poor. Property crimes have often been considered to be about robbing from the rich distributing wealth to the poor; what nonsense. The truly wealthy don’t need to park on street and can have very good insurance policies.
Political policy in the Bay Area has had the undeniable effect of raising the cost of living for the Middle Class. For the truly rich, it’s peanuts. It’s no problem for rich CEOs like Marc Benioff to volunteer public money harvested from the working middle class, in wasteful ways, and not impact his quality of life.
The narrative is that everyone should bear the burdens of increasing taxes, increased costs on small businesses, and priorities to prop up causes with extremely expensive & wasteful ways to address problems with token gestures, to essentially make this worse for the majority of tax payers who aren’t truly rich.

So stop implementing policies that increase the cost of living for the middle class.

No offense, that outdoor space is a nightmare. Nobody kept it up. So it’s all jungle, probably full of bugs; cleaning it up first, sends them everywhere. Definitely clean it then fumigate the unit, before moving in.

45 yrs ago, I lived on the Upper West side, just off Central Park, with a back yard that big.

ah, yes, the k*mart T.I. said he was going to turn into a grocery store to solve the area’s food desert issue… then sold to a developer for another low income housing project.

this is pretty far from quarry yards and the above mentioned parkside at quarry yards… are you sure that this is one of mark teixeira’s properties?

well, since this is as good a segue as any, at last night’s grove park neighborhood association meeting, killer mike and his squad showed up to talk about T.I. and his plans for bankhead seafood.

apparently, they have already been approved to rehab and add two stories to the existing building, being grandfathered in. if i recall correctly, there are only 10 parking spaces for the building. after buying the adjacent lot on the other side of the alley access for homes on florence pl and hortence place, they were pressing us for support to convert the lot so that it could become additional parking of 12 more spaces (map, bankhead seafood listed as do right auto security for some reason). that’s for a total of 22 parking spaces… for an approved 130 seat restaurant.

yes, you read that correctly.

they kept trying to say that customers would come in waves, they were looking at valet options, they would rent parking from PAW kids, and that they were doing the neighborhood this great service with an additional 12 parking spots to avoid customers parking in front of houses and potentially blocking driveways and mailboxes.

the entire thing was extremely strange. they handed out ’survey’s of what GPNA would like to see for the restaurant as far as pricing, hours of operation, how often we eat out, interest in healthy options, etc. when pressed for what kind of restaurant this would be ( price ranges for entrees started at $10-$15. not expensive, but not exactly preserving the spirit of where "the family could bring $5 and feed three people"), they said nothing was set in stone about their plans… YET THEY HAD ARCHITECTURAL DRAWINGS OF THE BUILDING WITH SEATING ALREADY IN THEIR PRESENTATION.

clearly they already know what they are going to do and the entire thing was condescending lip service as killer mike kept calling himself an ‘actual resident’ and 3+ year GPNA members ‘newcomers’ who are extremely active in the community at their own neighborhood association meeting.

i bear no ill will for t.i. or killer mike. in fact, i am quite excited that they are revitalizing bankhead seafood, owned and operated by helen harden for around 50 years until last january, of which she is supposed to be a part of. i just don’t like the way that the project was sort of shoved down our throats (one of his posse in the back kept yelling "vote already" when we were asking questions) without any real understanding of how residents live around the building.

that alley is one way in, one way out after being closed off decades ago. reopening it would take a lot of property negotiation as the exit is now next to a house and to be widened would eat into backyards. it is in extremely rough condition, but it’s what residents use to get to their homes as properties go up in elevation as you go away from donald lee hollowell.

if the alley gets blocked at all for any reason, people can’t get in or out of their homes. this doesn’t even cover the street parking that will disappear once this takes off. with t.i. and killer mike’s names attached to an iconic west side institution, it’ll turn into a slutty vegan situation in terms of congestion, in addition to being right next to grove park proper and the southern entrance to westside park.

his team was open to residents who live on the street giving them a tour of the alley (because they haven’t seen it yet for some reason…) but i was hoping someone on here could give us advice on how to go about dealing with this situation. the NPU-J meeting is coming up on january 28th, where they will be presenting again, and i would like to be better equipped in making concerns known, solutions to combat logistical nightmares, and what to ask for in regards of a developer providing infrastructure to the community.

at GPNA, we love and support our community partners, sponsors, residents (legacy, ‘newcomers’, owners, and renters), and – of course – parks lol. we just want to make sure development builds up the community, not build on top of it.
