Nobody’s going to complain about the destruction of this 1934 home on Beulah?
Too deep in the hood for anyone’s blood. Shares a backyard with a bona fide crack house.
@spoonman of course not its not in the right area.
Another historic/easy to renovate home destroyed and with it a community that had been coming together as one for years. This city sucks. Probably put up some stucco/hardi-plank/turreted/glue on rock monstrosity/soulless/community destroying testament to greed/short sightedness. I have never put capital at risk, never managed a heavily permitted, extensive remodel but I can tell you the numbers would have worked and people who don’t understand that need a push by government to see the light! Just look at every other city anywhere and you can see this kind of thing only occurs here. Sad.
Sboney, you put it perfectly … “I never put capital at risk” Well, then you have no dog in this fight and have absolutely no say so. Money talks, bullsh*t walks (and sometime whines on swamplot)
That house on Beulah is awful. 800 square feet of utter crap. I’ve lived in bigger apartments.
Pretty sure sboney was being facetious, Commonsense.
Spoonman: I don’t think he was being facetious. Could be wrong…
i got facetious…
Facetious. Totally facetious. Gotta be more careful in the future how I write this stuff. I have done total to the studs redo’s of a number of 1920s/1930s homes. It is not a friendly environment for that kind of project now. Much better twenty years ago. Now its a wonder anyone can make the numbers work. How did we all survive the houses built before IEC 2009, lead abatement laws, habitability inspections, and 2011 NEC.
