The Mehdipour mess

SHOULD 50-YEAR-OLD homes by noteworthy architects be protected from demolition? Seems like a simple question. In an ideal world, of course they should. However, as the drama being played out on a sandy hillside overlooking Fanshell Beach shows, in the real world, the question of whether something should be preserved is a lot more complicated. It doesn’t have to be. The government always has the power to preserve some- thing — by buying it. Whether the owner is willing to sell or not, the govern- ment can acquire anything needed for a public purpose through eminent domain. All it has to do is pay the owner a fair price. And, once it has the deed, if the gov- ernment’s purpose in buying a building is to keep it from being torn down, it can encumber the house with a covenant or easement that forbids demolition, and then turn right around and sell it again. The difference between the acquisition price of the unencumbered house and the sale price of the protected one would be the government’s cost of preserving it. In a scenario like that, everybody’s treated fairly, nobody is cheated, and the bill for preserving the house goes to the people who want it preserved — the public. The rub comes when the people want a house preserved but don’t want to pay for it, or when a small group of citizens are adamant that something be pre- served, but the man on the street doesn’t share their passion and doesn’t want to have to contribute to see it fulfilled. In either case — and this has regrettably become a very common scenario — the government sets its sights on something it wants protected and just tells the owner, “Too bad for you.” Enter Massy Mehdipour. In April 2004, when she bought the Richard Neutra house at 1170 Signal Hill Road in Pebble Beach for $4.5 million (and started paying more than $45,000 per year in property taxes), the house wasn’t desig- nated or even considered “historic,” and there would have been no way for her “Carmel my foot. This stuff tastes like adobe.” to know that 10 years later a hue and cry would come from her neighbors, demanding that she not tear it down. And how could she even envision such a its people, whether residents, business own- scenario? In the real world, it would be laughable for anything just a few decades ers, or visitors.

She moved here 22 years ago from St. Louis to open Graphic Traffic, a custom printing, embroidery and design shop, in Carmel Plaza. She’s also sold jewelry and worked at Augustina Leathers. She got into real estate when she wanted to purchase a home. After looking at the prices of available properties, she decided the best way to be able to buy a home was to sell a few first.
