Palmer's the man responsible for destroying the very last building in the lost downtown neighborhood of Bunker Hill. The city wiped out most of the neighborhood, which it deemed a slum, starting in the 1950s. But there was one 1800s Queen Anne House left on Caesar Chavez Avenue and Figueroa Street in the late 1980s when Palmer began to work there on the Orsini. It was called the Geese House, and it was protected under preservation laws. There are plans in place to move the house to Angelino Heights, but Palmer's workers demolished it instead. Their excuse? A bulldozer had accidentally backed into it, making it unsavable. It gets even more screwed up, though. When the city suggested it might hold Palmer accountable for his actions, he sued the city. In the end, he only had to pay $200,000 and provided some public mitigations.
