Ah yes, tourists from the world over flock to Baywood to marvel at the historical beauty of its suburban sprawl.
In a couple of years thanks to this wonderful woman, it will be.
Everyone wants something done about the housing crisis, but they only want it done in other peoples' neighborhoods.
The question is, who is "everyone", wink winky 😉
Housing crisis. Not to sure about the validity of that statement. Homelessness is not the litmus, because if it were you shouldn't ever vote Democrat again. They're the ones who created the so called 'crisis' you refer to.
It’s not about preserving anything, they just don’t want poor people right around the corner when they pay tens of thousands of dollars in property taxes. Also, don’t want your children infiltrating and benefitting from said resources too.
Yes that is exactly correct, now please explain to me what is wrong with that? Ile wait
And?
@@eyebitez You don't deserve so much security for any kind of investment.
You don't get to dictate where others can live, if they have the resources to live somewhere they should be able to. That's the free market.
You already don't pay the property taxes that you should actually pay for your house, you probably can't afford to live here if you did. You should move. (not you, homeowners in general in this area).
This causes increased rents and indirectly the price of goods in your area.
You look like a donkey to everyone outside of your elite little club of homeowners that struck gold for buying a house in the right area of the country, no skill, just stupid luck.
What's wrong with that? You don't want your living location be destroyed by low cost high density dwelling.
Basic supply and demand around nimbyism. This lady and other NIMBYs want no other homes built so the scarcity continues and their home values stay high. Selfish and greedy IMO
Nope. We don’t want bums and trash people living in our neighborhood. I would rather move than live next to ratchet lowlifes.
"This lady and the other NIMBYS want no other homes built so scarcity continues and their homes value stays high. Selfish and greedy IMO" your opinion is flawed. Stop pushing this propaganda B.S
Are you from the bay area?
@@eyebitezI am and I completely agree with them.
@@willie2235 🤣 B.S!
forrest hills neighborhood in san francisco did this and was granted historic status.
A wise community 🍻
Spread the word 🙌🏽
How will they overcome the hardship of living in a safe and wealthy neighborhood.
If you work hard enough you might be able to have that feeling one day
Found the NIMBY
@@jgrimesty solid rebuttal ⬅️ sarcasm 😁
Why don't people try to get there themselves instead of trying to ruin the people who got there with effort.
Living in the bayarea it does not make sense why I can't modify my own house because of people enjoying looking at it.
Boomers gonna boomer.
Bums are gonna keep eating where they 💩😂
Bro who can afford a house in that neighborhood or rent it’s too high
Hahah there’s nothing historical about that part of San Mateo
It's from 1920s as the lady said! 😂
All these Boomers trying to "preserve" the blandness of the peninsula and keep the "riff raff" out, but the riff raff, in many cases, are their own kids and grandkids.
History says you don’t belong there either
nimbys no shame.
‘It just doesn’t fit the look from 100 years ago’ 🤣
100 years is not historical. Good grief.
yes it is
Make it historic means making these houses more high values…
It means keeping the morons/minorities away from the only nice places left in the bay area.
Imagine the original historical owners get their land back to preserve their history and legacy.
if they want to preserve history, they should give the land back to the native americans
@@siopao_81 🤦🏽
@@siopao_81 They can't but they should lol until the "Natives" get the backing of a global super power (probably never) they should stand on their own feet just like the African Americans have, or at least like some of them have 😅
@@eyebitez these nimbys can easy just hand over the deed and title to their homes to a native american family.
@@siopao_81 name one N.A family that supports your daft comment, Ile wait
I live here, but rent, and I love the neighborhood. But this is 1000% a NIMBY move to keep all us poors out.
For anyone not familiar with this specific neighborhood btw, the starting price for these houses is 2M, most sell for more.
🤣🤣🤣
That is exactly correct! GTFOH!!!
It's pretty much 1.5 million anywhere in Bay area that's acceptably safe and convenient. What's the problem with that?
@@nz6241in what fantasy world do you live in where this is considered okay? Most of that stock is (maybe) renovated 1940's housing that was never intended to last this long in the first place.
Besides, 1.5M with the rates these days requires 300k as a 20% down payment, then basically another 8k A MONTH for your mortgage, NOT including property taxes, insurance, and (likely) an HOA. That's likely double the cost it is to rent something comparable in the same area(s).
Again, how is that okay?
All the houses in the bay are old as shit. Guess everywhere is historic. They just don't want multi-housing units in their neighborhood.
You have no idea what unfair means
A NIMBY by any other name…..
Go Frank Elliott!!
They need a high rise public housing project
🤣🤣🤣 absolutely not, the bay area is and has been tired of you bums!
...and a BART Station.
@@707Southpaw for what?
Shameless NIMBY
So disgusted by NIMBYs
Please place apartments before you would consider moving in these places read about them on yelp it’s full of mold, etc.
It’s about time they give something up and you don’t like it oh well the natives didn’t like it either.
There are huge amounts of open land in the San Mateo hills between 280 and 101 that are undeveloped.
We don't need anymore public housing. Keep the Bay Green! Not shit Brown.
How about we spend money on schools/education systems so we don't have to supply another generation of sociopathic idiots that can't hold jobs and need housing.
Yeah, and we should keep it that way
Ya know what also was acceptable 100 years ago Karen ..
allow Four-plexes?? you are just asking for it. uh, No.
Expecting "equity" and "fairness" stops for most children around age 13.
We aren't promising equity and fairness and never have. We are promising equality before the law. Please try to understand the difference.
@@schmetterling4477 Is there no equality before the law? Give me an example of what you mean, if not.
@@user-ob6je8jo5d it's been 10 hours and no reply from schmettterlimg 😅
these segregated neighborhoods are the reason for high price of housing and lack of housing. for a 100 years they ve keep it segregated ad now want to make it official. san mateo county got as many people as sf but is about 10 times bigger. build in san mateo and marin. dont let them continue with the legacy of segregation. have the state go in.
And destroy a lovely neighborhood for nasty apartments
@@meep2253 segregated neighborhoods arent lovely. isolated and individualistic. cold.
Karen alert
Yeah, it’s always Karen who makes our lives more difficult
Ew, high density housing.
Im with the mayor on this.
these people just want the historical designation to increase their property value. they dont really care about the history, or character... they just care about the money
Ha ha 😅 Good try!
OK, boomer! :-)
Sorry. All cities and neighborhoods must follow state law. This is NIMBYism on another level. I'd like to find out the demographics of the owners within the Baywood neighborhood
Baywood is beautiful. Not every neighborhood has to be high density. Leave it as it is.
😂😂😂 Your sounding your White liberal dog whistle.. 😂😂😂
Adding a few high density buildings in a neighborhood that will be 99% single family homes will not change the neighborhood… This is just nimbyism
Well there will definitely be more cars on the street. There is enough land on this planet not to build 4 homes on a one house lot.
Baywood is a beautiful area and it’s worth preserving its character.
??? It looks like every other 1960s-era subdivision in the whole country. Show me the historic church or mission. Show me the historic town square. There isn't one.
The reality is that this neighborhood is a 10 minute walk to a Caltrain station, so it makes perfect sense to allow more housing there.
@@mariusfacktor3597if you mean the San Mateo downtown Caltrain station then yes. The nearest BART is Millbrae station.
@@caisantangyi U right, Caltrain. Thx
I live just outside Baywood and see both sides. Being nearby its good for us no matter how they decide. These people and their grandparents built this neighborhood so its fine to take a stand. But nobody likes being told what they can't do with their property. The city will have the last word Im sure.
I agree. I like this neighborhood. I have driven by and daydreamed about one day buying one of those houses.
as a bay area native i hate to see beautiful old neighborhoods like this be destroyed in the name of increasing housing units - its bs.
allowing property owners to subdivide and build up to 4 residential units on their limited lots will decimate the character of this place with not only quadruple the number of residents but also the number of vehicles parked on its streets. this is no way to create housing density. i applaud the effort to preserve it. the greed lies with homeowners who favor being allowed to build additional units
they can sell for megabucks . didnt they choose to buy in baywood because of its charm and character ? then why do they now want to destroy it ? smh
Agree.
So what you are really saying is that only a shoddily built 100 year old Spanish house is good architecture? Virtually every architect in the world will disagree with you. These homes were simply the cookie cutter designs from a hundred years ago. There is nothing valuable about them.
the only bay area natives are the Ohlone's. stop gatekeeping this place. i am also a "bay area native"
I grew up in Los Altos. Between 1987 and now Every home where I lived has been torn down.... near the high school Our home cost $37,000 in 1966. last year it sold as a knock down for $4.3 MILLION. It's happening all over the place and now instead of having homes like you see in this story they are all modern looking crap
Just be honest and say you don't want poor people living near you. 😂
1 million for an studio
The true Bay Area citizens are sick and tired of these BUMS! destroying EVERYTHING!!! Thank god this lady is doing something to protect her neighborhood. Every sensible person should take notes and join the trend to protect our neighborhoods!
Damn, right! Im 100% with you! Now, can someone do something about these disgusting homeless?! Buy a home and leave us alone ya drug addicted animals! Please stay out of our beautiful historic suburbian town! Thoughts and prayers! ✝️🙏✝️
@@Sarcastic_Asmodeusare you from the Bay? If not then please...no comments from the peanut gallery ( sarcastic or not) especially from people who are not from the area.
Most average looking anti-walkable city NIMBY
I totally agree with preserving it, I live here and recently we had some people buy homes and changed them to something so ghastly, I understand that it could be more expensive to keep the character, but a few
Of us a ready to pitch in to do that
Of course, another Karen
What would you do if someone ripped down a 90-100 year old house and build a massive newer house next to your property? I wouldn't be thrilled.
@@nicholasthompson7690 they can do whatever they want for their property, just like I would do the same
I don't even live there and I want them to preserve it. All the policies coming out of Sac is full of BS.
Exactly. SB9 should be illegal! All designed to increase revenue and decrease standard of living. Next they're going to say too many cars/not enough parking are the issues and limit the # of people able to buy a car. Too much corruption. Lord I pray you remove the corruption in Sacramento.
Leave the neighborhood alone it's beautiful! Bring in high density housing will destroy it! That's what the city of Fremont did years ago! Now that's all Fremont is! Not to mention the old nieborhoods that were pretty nice old nieborhoods. And the city allowed home owners to build hugh homes along with the older homes? Looks like hell! That's Fremont for u? Hope the folks in San Mateo get their way and don't let what happened to Fremont happened to them!
Baywood is a beautiful neighborhood and wish I could live there too. Honestly what is wrong with people wanting to preserve the character of their neighborhood. We Americans travel to Europe to see exactly that…historic buildings.
