Why? The only affordable housing in CA is the housing that already exists. How can any process in the face of a catastrophic housing shortage demolish 3 homes to build 3. Net zero for zero leadership. Stand Up!

If Architects and owners continue to not see distinctive and irreplaceable buildings right in front of them, then other actions should protect them. To the Carlsbad residents, politicians and officials: Please stand up here. Know that a generic product will replace Ted Smith's witty, pleasant architecture. And to the owners: Please abandon plans to destroy these one-of-a kind gems. Covet them instead.

I have found memories of my time spent with friends at Victor Condo. It paved the way for more architecturally thoughtful development in Carlsbad.

Victor Condo is a truly remarkable piece of architecture, and a key representative of a style, place, and time now fading into distant memory. Unfortunately, it’s common practice for buildings of a certain age to be demolished before a true appreciation of their cultural value has registered. Please don’t allow this to happen to this important piece of Carlsbad history - save Victor Condo before it's too late!

To allow the destruction of this significant piece of Architecture would be a black eye on the city of Carlsbad. As Carlsbad matures and becomes a more significant player in north county and California culture it should recognize and preserve it's own contributions to our shared history.

Ted smith is a pioneer in housing typologies like this and has been an innovator and mentor to hundreds of thousands of young architects. Do not allow the removal of this amazing example of urban housing meant to serve a middle and lower income need.

Ted Smith is an architectural staple in the San Diego region and preserving his early works ought to be of utmost importance in maintaining the rich architectural history of San Diego's past. Ted's accomplished will be celebrated long into the future and these gems of architectural thinking and innovation much like his other works deserve a spot in the cherished memories of our built environment. Few architects in the area have given so much as Ted Smith who has influenced generations of architects and designers and educated and collaborated with the brightest minds practicing and influencing our spaces today.
