        @paulg Trickery? Isn't this sort of regulatory work around called "innovation" when Uber or Airbnb do it?

        @paulg @kfury Maybe 15 years ago – City knows it's a brand new construction. I think they've kept it for setback locations, nothing more.

        @paulg the reverse true on corporate makeovers. Change 19 boards in a house, and its called a 'transformation'

        @paulg classic but that’s about as extreme a case as I’ve ever seen. Call building / zoning department; might be different than the plan

        @paulg - Not just in Palo Alto, a lot of places have similar regs - save one exterior wall, etc.

        @paulg Leave the wood-burning fireplace standing and you can grandfather it into your renovation. (fireplaces are banned)

        @paulg Why not just letting people renovate their home normally like the rest of the country? I smell a shitty city council involved...

        @paulg San Diego is similar but you have to save 1/2 the old studs. So people add 2 more stories onto a living room and it's a renovation.
