from across the street so you can see that they have such a varying structure that it is the bric-a-brac of san francisco in that regard. and he is flipping through them right now. i think it's not projecting. i don't know if you are seeing what we are flipping? you are. i especially love this one, the seven-story house that's about a block and a half away. but regardless, we explored what was there. and based upon what we found is the street -- or the block across the street which transitions from stillings into martha, literally there's one house that's still considered part of nordhoff. it really is in line with the structure and design that toni has put together. if you look at the designs of the houses on martha, which he is about to get to, you will see that the two houses that we are proposes flow with that. the existing house will stay in line with the house that's currently existing on the other side of the property so that it will blend in from martha into nordhoff and go into the neighborhood where there's still quite a varying level of design on nordhoff. other issues that we
