Locals Oppose Scale Of Apartment Complex In National Park

"The historic but long-empty Public Health Service Hospital will be restored for residential use as the centerpiece of a complex that will include several small new buildings but still will contain no more than 186 apartments.
The revised project has the blessing of neighborhood groups that have spent years fighting the project, a key part of Presidio Trust's effort to become financially independent."

"The Presidio Trust, which now receives federal appropriations but must pay its own way by 2013, the conversion promised a lucrative stream of future income. But nearby residents wanted the wings removed for aesthetic reasons. They also said a 350-unit project would add too many cars to neighborhood streets."
