i am barbara asho and the director of the bay view opera house and a few blocks from this property furthermore. i am a bay view resident. i own a home here since 1993. i have driven by that building at 2065 oakdale avenue for 11 years twice a day and bringing my son to school so i know that building really well and to talk about the fact this was an alteration is ludicrous and all of a sudden you see an empty block there there was a building before and there was a unique sign on the building. it was a milk bottle from the barkly farms company. i think everyone is familiar with that and i was a mused there was that in bay view since i lived there, and i also have appreciation for history and for historic historic preservation. as the bay view opera house is the first building that made it on to the registry and concerned that other am whys are preserved and there is a lot of history there and worth preserving and i agree with the speakers there is a general feeling of lawlessness that exists in bay view and people can dump on the street, walk with guns and shoot into buildings and anywhere else
