		<description><![CDATA[Sorry. Directionally challenged. I meant the NNW side of 335, the one that faces the direction of Montgomery, which now has a view (even if it&#039;s primarily of an expanse of blacktop) and soon will have naught.

Incidentally, for those who did not attend the meeting, residents of 335 seemed to make up the vast majority of the audience (and a couple of the participants at the table, in what appeared to be a last minute addition by the city). Because 335 is zoned commercial, they technically are not even afforded the cursory input we R60 folks get, but it seemed to be the feeling of all concerned that regardless of the law, both the single family neighbors and the developers were open to hearing their complaints/ideas, even if accommodating a lot of them will be difficult.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are actually some really cool things that are being done w/ parking decks these days. For instance in Savannah you have to look twice to tell the difference between some of their newer decks and any of the other surrounding buildings. No more concrete blobs there that obviously read as &#039;parking deck&#039;.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hey, Lump, can you clarify which condos to the east? Directly east is the Artisan, but their view is essentially blocked by the tower.

Do you mean the 335 Ponce building? That matches the description, though their back units already look down on their own structured parking and then the existing parking lot, so I don&#039;t know how different it&#039;ll be.

Whose view we talkin&#039; &#039;bout here?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Speaking as one of those seated at that table, I&#039;d generally agree with this assessment. There&#039;s still some tweaking to be done obviously (our biggest focus now is on the plantings in the barrier areas), but my wife and I feel like that for the most part they are making a good faith effort and, despite some our more intractable tablemates, will eventually get to a place where most of the abutters can at least live with the result.

Honestly at this point much of my sympathy lies with the condo folks on the east side of that building who will soon be facing that parking deck, but I don&#039;t know that much can be done to ease that pain, unfortunately. There&#039;s just not much room to maneuver or mitigate there.]]></description>
