I jest not; indeed I'm probably lowballing. There are very few lots that size in the Peninsula's urban axis. My lot is 6100 square feet, give or take a hand's-breadth. A 2/3-acre lot in Palo Alto is prone to being minced into 8 lotlets, each of one slated to support a dense-pack executive mansionette ... 3300 sq ft of dee-lux accommodations made of chipboard and Pergo shoehorned onto 3200 sq ft of "acreage". It's scary, and in my curmudgeonly opinion it is a worse use of land than simply building apartments each with a generous greenbelt. Noooo. People need to have their own freestanding houses, even if the walls are five feet apart, and the bathroom windows line up. "Always be uglier than your neighbors."
