Will there be a fire truck in it? Currently, there is no fire truck in our fire station. Yes. or no? When will the new fire truck be available for service? Without a fire truck, it is not a fire station. It is an ambulance station.

I hope the architectural review board spoke to the firefighters on what they wanted. The article hardly involves them. They are the ones using it. They should like the design and function of it. It really doesn't matter if it matches perfectly with the neighborhood. It should just look nice.

Would like more info on why it is projected to cost $15 million. Seems quite expensive.

TIL that Eichler's brother in law served time for selling rotten eggs.
P.S. Eichler was not an architect. The architects who designed the buildings were: Robert Anshen of Anshen & Allen, and the San Francisco firm Claude Oakland & Associates, and the Los Angeles firms of Jones & Emmons, A. Quincy Jones, and Raphael Sorianos.
With that in mind, the question of "too Eichler or not Eichler enough?" really becomes "too Developer or not Developer enough?"

There is going to be a full decade of procedural garbage before a single atom is moved in the real world.
