Eichlers stood for inclusion. The Eichler preservationists believe in exclusion. Eichler would be disgusted with the arrogance of modern Palo Alto. A city of intolerance and exclusion.
I really like the Eichler open concept with the indoor/outdoor living feel, but I donât want an actual old construction one. I would prefer a new construction or an Eichler rebuild with modern materials. Those things were just built so cheaply back then. Hereâs an example of a nice rebuild with modern materials.
As a fake Caucasian/alt-white I drive by this house pretty often:
See Google street view for better pictures. Itâs a new construction. It doesnât have the ceiling-to-floor glass windows like the typical Eichlers do but the roof lines do give you that feel. My wife has commented multiple times she doesnât mind living in that house.
