It’s, like, suburbia, you know?” Wendy Kramer said of the house she owned on Fox Lane, where her cousin and 85-year-old mother lived. Residents are grieving a shattered community, puzzling on Facebook and Slack over how to affordably rebuild in a red-hot construction market, and wondering whether living there in an era of climate change will ever feel as safe as it did.“It was this happy bubble that we all adored, and I would love nothing more than to have that again,” said Erica Solove, 36, who, with her husband, owned the Cherokee Avenue house they and their two young children lived in as well as a rental across the street. Out front was the kind of place where collecting the mail led to long chats with neighbors, and kids roamed from yard to yard.“The houses were never great,” said Jon Solove, 36, who works in software sales. That was seven minutes after Jon Solove took a video of fire in the field behind his family’s house.In an interview, Mountain View Fire Chief Dave Beebe said firefighters in Sagamore were actively battling flames until the inferno forced them out; they do not typically use sirens to alert residents, he said. “If there isn’t a coordinated effort of some sort, what Sagamore will become is a neighborhood full of expensive custom homes,” said Ben Miller, an airport planner who lived in a five-bedroom Cherokee Avenue house that he and his wife purchased five years ago for about $530,000. “The next rendition of Sagamore will be a very expensive place to live,” Sellars said.At least one property — previously the site of a house with some of the neighborhood’s most epic Halloween decorations — is already for sale. Now her mother, who kept busy by dog-sitting and taking walks for exercise at Costco, is living with Kramer’s brother, and Kramer, who runs a donor sibling registry out of her home 45 minutes from Sagamore, is feeling crushed by the prospect of taking on a massive loan to rebuild at age 63.“I had a quarter of a million dollars into that house,” she said. He envisions “hamster tube” tunnels under all the houses, Erica Solove said, connecting them so that neighbors can visit one another even more easily.The Soloves want to be back with their Sagamore neighbors, too.
