Those of us raised in the television generation grew up with images for stories. The generation before TV listened to radio programs with as much enthusiasm, it seems, as the TV generation did to TV. We have images that are inseparable from horror stories we know. It was a wonder to us how the radio generation could be as scared as we were, without pictures.
This writer does not wonder any more after listening to a podcast by two developers, Shawn DiMartile and Mike Tighe, talking about their ADU project in Ocean Beach. It is possible to horrify a person with only words.
This was a psychological horror podcast. What was horrible about it was the complete lack of morality and the nonchalance. Clearly, the only goal is money, nothing else matters.
This appears to be a second ADU Complete Communities project in OB, a third project is just outside the OB boundary. No idea if these are connected in any way. The podcast did not give the address.
These two developers bought a property that consists of a two-bedroom, one bath house on a 7,000 square foot lot. They plan to add 12 more living units for a total of 13. They will remodel the existing house, expanding it for two new units. There will be a new three-story building with 10 units in it. One more unit will be over the garage.
