Be sure to read the "Neartown Notebook" article on page 10 of This Week section of today's Chronicle. 

This is very important for all of us who would like to preserve both the value and the ambiance of our blocks.  It tells about a proposal by Neartown to enable property owners on a block-by-block basis to apply for adherence to existing lot sizes (50 x 100 in most cases). 

As it is, when a developer buys a lot in the middle of a block, he can cut up the lot into as many as three small lots (as many as four on corners) and build out to the property line in some cases.  This, of course, makes it hard to sell the other houses on that block for anything but teardowns--very bad news if you plan to make improvements to your home or even keep it up. 

There is a very important public hearing at 2:30 p.m. on October 18 at City Hall Annex (across the street west from City Hall).  Call me if you want a ride to the meeting or if you will take other people;  I plan to coordinate rides to the hearing.
