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.
My guess on the song playing at that moment is "Fancy Like".
I think that was played at some point.
There are people that say "why anyone needs a boat is beyond me"
It is a very safe investment for people with money laying around.
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.
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.
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.
