Haha, totally agree!
They brought it in as a baby tree and it has grown to full size??!
Sure, we know the heat of the Sunset makes everything grow that fastā¦ Come on!!!
WRONG!!! The old pics showed that the tree has been there since at least 2007:
Iām pretty sure itās the same tree, although it seemed to have grown tallerā¦ you decide!!! 
Wow, so no growth at all in 10 years? I am still surprised it lasted so long. Didnāt some of those palm trees on Market in the Castro-Church corridor die (or some of them did)? and that is a warmer areaā¦
The tree has grown taller if you compare the new pic to the old oneā¦
Ok, fine, so thatās how they got it in there then. Seems too much trouble, but yet it did help I guess in getting a nice price. Maybe the tenant or owner in that time also got a decent tan and improved his/her surfing skills tooā¦

And it was there in 2006!!!
Dude, are you going to go down to Sloat Nursery and order yourself a palm tree now??? In a dream world, my wife would kill for a durian tree. If that smell does not drive away criminal elements, I donāt know what willā¦

Not scoring high in the curb appeal category but look at all that parking!!! You cats in the burbs def have that one thing over me in the Fab 7x7. I would kill for an extra few spaces for car projects. This probate one seems to have gotten a contingent decent priceā¦

Wow, 5000 sqft! What do you think this will go for? 1.7-1.8?
Well, by the pricing history is it a foregone conclusion that this probate offering is about to go for that price? Or not? Yes, I would sacrifice curb appeal for PARKING, gobs and gobs of parking!!!
No curb appeal lipstick on a pig big time fixer only selling point is the square footageā¦ and some poor soul fell for that.
Iāll take it for the parking!!!
I give it extra $50k for an additional parking stall. And thereās just one extra. Others donāt count because they are tandem.
I can also park 3 cars on my driveway but I canāt claim that my house has 4 parking stallsā¦
Man, the parking spaces would sell your house, not the Rousseau-ness of itā¦
You have a point. One house a block away from mine had an extra wide garage door. Not a 2-car one but just āextra wideā. It managed to sell maybe $150k above other comps. Parking does sell in SF!!!
Tell me about itā¦a 3 unit flats building near our Chinatown building lingered on the market for that very reason. Many interested parties willing to double down on Chinatown and spend easily over 2M for a semi fixer condition building, only to turn away due to NO PARKINGā¦ Still eventually sold, but not at a premium. With the advent of self-driving autos and Uber, for sure parking is not as a must have as before but I suspect rich folks still like the option of having their own sweet ride to use at their beck and callā¦

So you are one of those early Chinese immigrants whose family own properties in Chinatown. Did your folks get their start by setting up a mom and pop shop there? I remember there was a time when they restricted all Chinese people to live in Chinatown onlyā¦ maybe that was before your folks though.
