Do you help renters?
@chuckmarch5552 Ай бұрын
My only exposure to Alemeda was not a positive experience. I was installing a new kitchen in a dinky condominium off webster st. I couldnt park in the complex so i had to lug all my equipment and supplies about a quarter mile up to the work site . The management was rude and unreasonable. When i went to lunch i ate at a fast food rest. On Webster. The place was in total dissaray with one person on duty and the tables all cluttered with trash. It was about the most miserable job i did in 4 years at Sears. Also when i went to HD for supplies there was a guy breaking into cars in plain daylight. This was in 2005. Its probably much worse now. I wouldnt live there if you payed me. I hate the bay area. What a crappy place to live.

For the master bedroom, how about reducing the number of bedrooms and take the master across to the sun filled bedroom and enlarge that space. In doing this it will allow room to place the master bath on the street side of the home and the pluming for both bathrooms remain on the same side of the house. Just a thought 😊

I miss Alameda from the 1960's. I grew up there. There were only 30 thousand people back then. Everything was wide open with no clutter or people. Classics stores that are all gone now. Now Alameda, is sad. People on top of each other. Townhouses and apartments being built on every piece of vacant land. Everything is expensive. Everybody like this guy in the video trying to get democrats to move out of the cities they destroyed, ie, San Francisco and move to Alameda so they can destroy that city too. Back in the 60's he would not like Alameda. Back then the politicians tried to keep Alameda small and quiet. Now the politicians will let anybody come in and build, build, build as long as they grease their palms. I was lucky to grow up in a once great town that is gone forever.

California Faces a $68 Billion Deficit. Largely as a result of a severe revenue decline in 2022‑23, the state faces a serious budget deficit. The state faces three overlapping challenges: rising unemployment, growing fiscal strains and population outflows. All of these should abate over time, but for now they mark out California as a pocket of relative weakness in an otherwise robust American economy. Bearish is the right call...

Alright so here’s the deal. The food in Alameda is not anything special. Sure there’s a large amount of restaurants but not one of them really specializes in anything. If you live in a bubble and want to try a different food without stepping further away than 3 miles then this is for you lol.

One of the reasons the food is mediocre in Alameda is because it's increasingly difficult for anyone to own and operate a small business there - There's unavoidable vandalism and property crime everywhere.

Do you think removing the walls in kitchen will lose a lot of the character of the home? Where it will look more cut and paste like track home?
@jakefromtheblock 5 ай бұрын
Scott, thanks for the comment. It was my concern originally, however after much thought, in order to maximize its appeal and square footage of the home, I figured opening up the space and enlarging the kitchen was more desirable for this specific property. If the home had more special original and desirable characters such as built-in wood pieces as many of the craftsman homes on the island has, then I probably would not have removed it. Another note is that there aren't many fully remodeled and open floorplan craftsman's in the area, so counter-intuitively, it may have its own uniqueness and character. Time will tell.

@catherineparker6422 5 ай бұрын
You made a great purchase, I love the home and I’m sure whatever you choose will be wonderful! My personal recommendation is to Keep the beautiful original match box floors (saving yourself some money as well). Just match the tile you put in the entrance/mud room in the places the flooring doesn’t exist (& bathroom) to make it cohesive and look intentional! Them being a dark color will be wonderful too. Lastly try to put the kitchen/island incorporating the columns so they aren’t awkwardly out in the middle of the house. Best wishes and can’t wait to see the final result(:
