I own a house at 5510 Doyle Street in <br />Emeryville, CA. In 1990, a cohousing community was proposed next door to _ <br />my big, beautiful house that I. designed and built. <br />n <br />U <br />When I first learned of the cohousing project, I was up in arms. I fought the <br />project and, in fact, I was the lead organizer to counter the project. We had <br />fears of traffic, noise, density, and loss of privacy. Despite our objections, <br />the project was approved. <br />The cohousers now live next door to me, and I couldn't appreciate them <br />more. Our fears turned out to be unwarranted. - I've had-dinner in their <br />common house many times. They have hosted several neighborhood <br />meetings. They have been the most contributing neighbors in our <br />neighborhood --they have participated on our school board and they've <br />participated on many town commissions. <br />If I had better understood what an immense contribution they would make <br />and what absolutely gteat.neighbors:they would be, I would never have <br />opposed this project, and I've let them know that. <br />If you have any questions, please call me at (510).653-1340. <br />• <br />Si <br />Je <br />INFO®JERR <br />WWW.JERRYCARNIGLIA.COM <br />1291 <br />
