Geez - to get to this location from the highway is a 15 minute drive on a two lane @ 30 mph. Then when they say that these houses will hurt the values, who are the kidding adding ten times these 4 houses would not stop the pricing for a town with views, of San Francisco Bay and the City, that take your breath away. Only Carmel has a better climate and downtown, in Kalifornia, than this tiny town. Cry babies.
If you read the article on Drudge they are going to build 4 approx. 6000 sq. ft. houses on most of the acreage and 4 1450 sq.ft. houses on the "remaining .85 acres." I'd call that "slamming" them in.
