Look who is re-developing Redwood Citys little house on Wilson Street. I have nothing against Texas. But I have heard that they used to have plenty of land of their own. The question I do have is: Doesnt the San Francisco Bay Area have any LOCAL building contractors any longer?? Why is a Texas builder/developer getting this job??
