the entire pretend palace looks like an ostentatious piece of **** compared to the craftsman houses that created the neighborhood
you seem ignorant of how the area changed when china changed their immigration law in 85
chinese actually kill to get their multi-generational families in such an area
you should hear their demands to the local school principles
wildfire already burnt to the edge of this parcel
it’s unlikely to be lost to rain
the city council is imported
the former police chief is the biggest joke i ever heard of
he thought the local high schoolers partying in the 1970s was a communist plot !
his name was chief hiney …

We've got a LOT of condos in OC dating from the Eighties done in that color. That’s not “Peachy/Pink”, that’s “Yuppie Pink”.

And although I know some people want much higher standards of living, I don't see 6 rooms being filled up unless the parents move in or the family has multiple kids. If they do, then I guess they are lucky to have money leftover for a $2MM home... Diddi,

Anyone know if that's the same with these tanks? Nice and tastefully decorated home but who needs all that space, even for an extended family of say 8 this is way over the top. This just goes to illustrate how crazy this real estate market got. BTW, who cleans all these bathrooms and vacuums? Or do they just let get real dirty?

It was a trophey of life time achievement for many. In reality, it is just waste and misuse of resources. How can a couple in their 50s, 60s or even 70s use all 5-7 beds and 5-6 baths? After a while each toilet does not get a flush in a month! But only if the mansion continues to appreciate in price, who cares and why not, right? But, the bubble has busted and the mansion becomes a giant size headeche.

Make sure you inventory all belongings and anything worth more than $50. :) I’ve never lived on a property like this but I can imagine that fire insurance will probably be a pain in the you-know-what to deal with.
