I don’t entirely agree with King’s assessment of the Borns. Although the public housing in North Beach was run down when it was replaced it had some aesthetic merits. What it did not have was maintenance by the SFHousing Authority on either the buildings or the landscape. To overlook the incredible accomplishments of a talented couple because of a single compromised project isn’t the full story.
