My family and I walk and bike the superb Kenilworth Trail upon which Charlie Lazor’s Flatpak house has intruded [“The Prefigured House,” July]. Now, instead of turning off a city street onto a gorgeous trail flanked with green, bikers and walkers first see Mr. Lazor’s concrete wall. Every lost piece of green growth in a city hurts somebody, but I appreciate that Mr. Lazor has a right to build anything he wants on his property. Still, although he states otherwise in your article, I am hoping that he realizes that he does, in fact, have neighbors. The people on the trail are neighbors. Virginia creeper grows fast. How about planting some, Mr. Lazor?
