I agree, don’t we all basically eat in the same room, relax in one room, have our favorite chair/couch, sleep in the same bed every night. But then again, I am glad that they spent the money and employed hundreds of skilled people for at least a year if not longer.Why anyone needs a house that big is beyond me.
My guess on the song playing at that moment is "Fancy Like".Well this evening escalated quickly. Cousin got married. That's him and my uncle dancing on the pool table at the reception.

I think that was played at some point.My guess on the song playing at that moment is "Fancy Like".
There are people that say "why anyone needs a boat is beyond me"Why anyone needs a house that big is beyond me.
It is a very safe investment for people with money laying around.Why anyone needs a house that big is beyond me.
I think those qualify as mansions. There is nothing like that in or around the city I live in in the SF Bay Area but if there was I’d expect the asking price to be over $5m. With annual property tax of 1% the owner would have to come up with at least $50k every year, more as the value appreciates per the county’s assessments.Took our last ride of the season yesterday (Lake Minnetonka, MN) and got a few pics of the new houses that went up on the lake this year.
They just keep getting bigger and bigger...

Here is a pretty detailed description of the property in the second photo I posted showing what was there before the new mansion was constructed. Amazing what was torn down to construct what is there now.I think those qualify as mansions.

That's a dang shame. You hear about the Historic Registry or some such (a local establishment was saved from eminent domain via such efforts), I wonder if that could have been saved in a similar way. Seemed to have a lot of awesome character and craftsmanship, although nothing seems to be mentioned about issues with the old place.Here is a pretty detailed description of the property in the second photo I posted showing what was there before the new mansion was constructed.
