the dwight way house street sign fence portrait

- i love it. very impressive... you could NEVER get away with this in my neighborhood of cape coral, fl. here, blandness is kosher (possibly statute, even) and a few cheesy builders have slapped together the same few elevations and floorplans over, and over, and over... it's like a maze in TRON. completely featureless. it's no wonder we are ground zero for the housing crash. anyway, dwight way is superb. everything i wish builders and architects were thinking about where i live.

- It's amazing that they got this done with all the Baby Boomer NIMBYs that try to stop everything in Berkeley.
