    George Horsfall is such a great fellow! He graciously allowed our drone into his wonderful home to capture a one-shot take in history as it stands today! 🥰🏡 A wholesome experience we will never forget! 🙏

    WHEN I WORKED AS A TOUR OPERATOR IN SF , THE PAINTED LADIES AT ALAMO SQUARE WERE A MUST TO SHOW THE VISITORS. TOO BAD SF HAS GONE DOWNHILL

    Anybody else looking at pretty house videos and daydreaming about being a home owner? I really don't want to be a downer but that always comes to my mind with such pretty places to live.

      Full House sitcom used one of these as the exterior of the house they lived in.

    Not sure which one he's talking about. The Blue one on the end is my favorite. I hate to say this, but Damn, they need to cut those trees. You can't see the house much anymore.

      Since he inherited it from his mother, he’s paying her property tax schedule, which can only increase 2% a year from whenever she bought it. But that lol just changed so his kids will probably be in about $50,000. Lol.

      I live in the Bay Area and recently walked down Market Street. I didn't see any poop on the streets and was actually impressed with how clean the sidewalks and streets were. I'm not denying the possibility that the poop thing is real, but it's not something that is commonly seen on every street in SF.

    They seem to face away from SF. No iconic views. I read somewhere that the homes were chopped up to make condos
