In default since September of last year, keep in mind the forced sale of the Sea Cliff home has been postponed due to a bankruptcy filing before and might be once again. But it pays to be prepared. And of course, plugged-in.

  1. This is how you build garages- easement alleys behind the streets so you don’t have to see the ugly things- this property has 10x more street appear because there is no driveway and tacky garage door showing.

  2. This seems odd, are there other loans as well? The house has got to be worth more than $2 million, why not just sell it what it’s worth, at least there would be some money left over for the current owner… I must be missing something.

  3. sf: Yeah, but that means you give up a significant chunk of the potential back yard instead, not just for the garage but for the alley. I don’t know if that’s preferable.

  4. When I was in Jr.High one of our assignments was to design the street layout and zoning for about one square mile of city. I decided to include alley access in the residential areas because, well when you’re thirteen years old alleys are cool. The teacher made me rework my original design because my alleys were too narrow for the turning radius of the modern American behemoth car. I enlarged the alleys and the resulting design sucked because too much space was removed from the usable yard.
