Recent and proposed changes to Parkmerced illustrate the current management’s lack of understanding of the communities’ planning and landscape architecture significance. It is important that the owners— Parkmerced Investors LLP, along with Stellar Management and Alliance Residential Company, and San Francisco State University—are fully aware of the historic value of the Church-designed landscape at Parkmerced.
