When will the gentrification stop? We are losing a youth center and restaurants I grew up eating at so that rich people from around the world can tell me I'm ruining my own city by living here ? Keep SF true to its nature and stop the gentrifying. I've lost all but a few of my neighbors just a few blocks from here. Where is the friendly neighborhood vibe I grew up with ? Will I be ridiculed for not having a certain income in a few years? This city is feeling less and less like home and more and more like corporate america is settling in on my doorstep. Good luck to those who live nearby..

Entire project is inconsistent with the neighborhood and culture. This massive building would only best serve the individuals living in it and not the community, especially in the penthouse. There is definitely not enough parking allocated for the residents and guests which would cause a burden to the neighbors.

Way too tall for the neighborhood. Chop off that top level and it should be okay. Please consider additional reserved parking within to ease additional street parking demand.

Too tall and doesn't suit the neighborhood. Parking is difficult as is.

There are only 7 parkinig spots and one of them is a disabled one so may go unused (and most likely someone who didn't live there wouldn't have access to it). The ground floor is supposed to be for retail. Where will the people who work there park? Where will the people who shop there park. Perhaps they should forget about the retail and make those parking spaces. We have a wonderful variety of retail now right on Judah and on Noreiga and there are so many empty storefronts around the city. What makes the developer think they will be able to fill these?

The disabled and elderly need to be addressed. With only 7 parking spots and potentially 40 additional cars (2x40), the street parking will become harder to find. Irving and Judah are also business corridors so some disabled need to park within very close vicinity of their destination. I have already stopped going to Andytown Coffee on Lawton because of no parking available various times of days. I can’t enjoy or support local business because of lack of street parking.
It is out of character of the neighborhood. It is way to tall, more money for developer. And a Penthouse?? I guess why additional height is needed so that unit has unobstructed ocean views and will bring in $$$$$$ to the developer by blocking views and causing shadows.
There is not enough infrastructure to handle parking, traffic, water/sewer and if one more wire gets attached to a telephone pole they are about to tip over and not to mention are ugly, for multimillion dollar homes. Develop Candlestick Park, Brisbane, Daly City.

I am also concerned about the impact on the already strained N Judah line. We can't keep putting big developments on major transit lines without improving capacity/on-time performance.

Too many compressed market rate units without enough parking or infrastructure consideration. Out of character and size for neighborhood.

Height - Too tall for the context. This area is not even built to the current code maximum of 40 ft, and a special exemption will make this building out of place for decades to come.
Design - Massing and design are inconsistent with the district and will negatively affect the desirable character of the neighborhood.

Something smaller in scale would be more appropriate for the neighborhood

This project is out of step with the neighborhood, if we grant height exceptions for this developer what’s to prevent future exceptions. City should conduct a Parking and traffic study. I am all for development but a more modest building is in order most homes and business are 2-3 stories it’s not fair to the rest of us who comply with current code

Parking is all ready an issue. Thought this was being sold as an "affordable housing for teachers" not penthouse $$$$ people.

Bad idea, doesn’t fit the neighborhood. Will block out the sunlight. To much pressure on over burdened parking in neighborhood.

STOP shoving these soulless monster buildings in our cute little neighborhood!!! We don’t have the parking, water, or streets to handle the congestion and overcrowding. Developers just want to make money off destroying our neighborhood.
