Street names, for one. Apparently the planner, back in the 1800\'s, had
no experience and didn\'t like field work. He just drew some grid
lines. When people starting building streets and houses on basically a
mountain range, it got twisted.

I was just walking up there and noticed the intersection of Forester
with Forester aka Melrose. The signage tries to help.

I wonder how google selects text directions.

I found the same thing up in Dublin, Ohio (a bit North of Columbus). I
got lost a lot there even with navigation help.

Looks like they\'re following terrain contours or something. It wasn\'t like today when they can do unlimited work with big machines. Back then mankind had to be more humble.

The area was hilly and mostly bare dirt and rock until maybe 1950ish.
People randomly installed streets and houses where they sort of fit
onto a rectangular-grid map.

There are neighborhoods around here that were built on hills in the
1800s. I can\'t imagine how they made streets and built houses on 20%
grades using human and animal muscle power.

Here is my street ca 1953.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/pgzf0kbtjipifax/Arbor_1953.jpg?raw=1

We have houses here that are on dirt lanes or stairways with no street
access. It\'s wild to see six guys hauling a refrigerator or a piano up
200 rickety wooden stairs. People move stuff into their back yards
with giant cranes and the occasional helicopter.

The back yards seem to have limited access. You would have to run
firehoses thru the houses.

No access, typically.

Things go through the house or over the flat roofs. One needs a giant
crane for serious garden things.

New York City is like that, but no back yards.

I had a cop ring my bell and ask if he could go through the house into
my back yard, in case a perp jumped the fence from a bust nearby.

Those houses look like they are so close to each other that they could
be condos or apartments on Teresita Blvd ! REALLY close together.
No sound isolation for sure.

I wonder why the Google street view is shading out the place at
942 Teresita Blvd and the house 3 or 4 houses up from it ?

Something secret going on there ?

In many neighborhoods, lots here are 24 feet wide and there is no gap
between houses. That\'s efficient, as there is no heat loss along the
two long sides of most houses. It\'s like townhouses in New York City.

I don\'t hear my neighbors. Well, maybe if someone throws something.

Street view is weird there. Maybe some google execs live there.

When Ed Lee was the mayor, we could see his house from here. But it
wasn\'t on Street View.

Even Puerto Rico houses have a bit of space between them. Maybe they were laid out by the same guy.

Yes, something like that maybe, but why attract attention by blurring
it out ?

No, the owner simply asked Google to blur it.

Thanks. I knew there was some way of doing that.

Just makes me want to go there and look closer.

However, they might have a gun so I would definitely stay off the
property and be video-ing just in case someone was a bit too
protective.
