I hate to see these grand historic homes go. I get that it is a very good thing to be packing more apartment units into Oakland, but this is not far from where they are building that frickin' Arby's. So I would rather see lots like that one fill up with apartment buildings first, then we can discuss properties occupied by historic buildings if necessary.

All that said, I won't chain myself to the bulldozers, because at least this is a worthy project other than the loss of the historic homes.
