Architecture FAQs
What does "cat-friendly architecture" mean?
Why didn't you build shelves and tunnels everywhere?
Rather than have cat entertainment built into the human space, cats are given their own spaces to take care of their basic needs.
First, cat lovers are more tolerant of such objects, but these homes need to appeal to everyone.
Moreover, while some cats like cat shelves and tunnels forever, many get bored with them fairly quickly, and some can't use them at all. These features work best when they are not a permanent fixture of a cat's environment; otherwise, the novelty wears off quickly.
Project FAQs
Why are you doing this?
This project has a long list of goals.
Don't your neighbors hate you?
No; at least, not yet.
It is true that many neighbors have signs in their yards that specifically say "No backyard apartment buildings" and this is an apartment building in a backyard.
However, I've lived here for over 20 years, I know and talk with all my neighbors. The general consensus is that (a) something big being built here was inevitable, (b) this wasn't nearly as bad as what an outside developer would have made, and (c) a nice, large property managed by someone close to home is less disruptive than a normal house managed by an absentee landlord.
I have also spoken at length with some of the founding members of Neighbors for a Better San Diego, the group that produced the sign in the photo above, and they were also supportive of this project.
