For those who have been following (and perhaps writing in response to) the SF Chronicle article on the woman who wanted to tear down her grandmother's Palo Alto Eichler, it seems the newspaper is trying to balance the picture.
Neighbors of mine in the San Jose Fairglen tract, Monika and Tom Borsellini, agreed to be interviewed in a SF Chronicle article on Eichlers. I don't know, but would guess, the SF Chronicles intent was to balance the rather unbalanced article that appeared earlier.

BTW, thanks to those who wrote in support of Eicher heritage and to Tom and Monika for opening their home and lives to provide a counter point of view.
Cheers.
