Hey All...
It's been a busy past year... self employment, 914 not needing a single screw turned, road trips, and most recently, (as in last week), an engagement to the most remarkable woman I've ever known... But, more change is afoot... Effective this coming Autumn, we are moving from Boston to San Francisco Proper... I've started looking at real estate, and although there are many options that have garages, the odds are high that I might have to ditch one of my vintage cars - likely the 914 (the VW Thing is still my favorite car), citing space restrictions. My question is this: are there any of you that know of, or share, industrial garage space - where I could store the 914, parts, tools etc... and have access to wrench? Also, if anybody knows of any real estate for sale, preferably in the Noe, Cole, Hayes Valley regions, or Pacific Heights / Sunset, Upper Haight - that isn't in excess of say, 850k, I'd be grateful to learn of it! Anyhow - I look forward to the move, it will enable me to cycle year-round, and the drivin' is fabulous outside of the city! Thanks in advance, -greg fulcher |

are you guys completely sold on living *in* the city? the city itself is fairly small.
if not, there's plenty of nice areas nearby that might be a bit cheaper and with more garage space ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Andy |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Andy Yeah - I think so.. We both want to commute by bicycle if at all possible.. I work from home, mostly though - and Petra will be working in the city. In "city", I mean in the county - not necessarily "downtown". We've looked at a few loft spaces in SoMa / South Beach - no thanks - no real neighborhood there - seems like you go there to live after work.. We're looking for a place with some grit, corner pubs, and a sense of community. We also have a bunch of friends who live in and around the areas I first mentioned. We've also looked at some Edwardian & Victorians, a few of which had garaged underneath.. Many though are TIC properties or condo-setups, and the garages are shared space. I've personally enjoyed having a remote-located garage back here outside of Boston - a place to go and get outta the house for a day - so I don't mind not having my workshop where I live. -g |
