Totally. They are already falling apart, too. A friend rented one (5k for 1500sf) and nothing works right. It’s like a demo house with hollow books and plastic apples.

I think they’re supposed to be “Japanese contemporary” or something (and yes, they seem to be cropping up all over my neighborhood). The thing about that particular style is it likely won’t age well; in 20 years people will be soending a fortune to re-skin them so they don’t scream “2010s!”.

Taylor’s mansion is Samuel Goldwyn’s mansion that he built in the 1930s, so it probably does qualify for historic preservation. Good on Taylor for wanting it preserved and proactively agreeing not to gut/raze the place.

All I see being built in BH these days are those slate grey modern boxy things. I don’t mind a jumble of styles, but they are going up at breakneck speed and a great old home is destroyed each time. And they are soulless, good lord. They look like an elaborate padded room on the inside. I’ll take my funky built-in…

Thank you! I am all for preserving the character of neighborhoods (all over the country) where possible. Destroying is so much easier than preserving.

I actually don’t. I’ve said before that I think it kills him that the coastal elite, especially in NYC, actively hate him. He thinks of the Manhattan elite as his people and they don’t support him - he didn’t win the primary in NYC, Hillary destroyed him in NYC and especially in Manhattan. He’s not cultured AT ALL,…

Good for Taylor Swift. For the last twentyfive years, people have been tearing down the very houses that gave Beverly Hills its unique character; those lovely pre-war houses and Spanish Colonial mansions. Along came a new wave -overwhelmingly of staggeringly rich Middle Eastern immigrants, long on cash and short on…

Jost’s line about the Nazis actually fighting Russia delighted me.

Hello! It’s me, Steve Harvey. I do government now. Will this bode well for our country?

Most of the joy I had while watching SNL last night was how furious it would make that cretin.

Sociopaths don’t feel shame.

“Bone spurs.”

Sorry Jason, first thing that popped into my head.

How can we not?! He’s taking jobs away from AMERICAN hookers!

When I hear the words “cultivating” and “Donald”, I picture a Russian farmer tending his field of Trump’s hair, and he’s the root vegetable underneath, like some fat, ugly, orange mandrake.

I am not outraged or excited. I don’t think this will change anything. I am, however, going to laugh till my sides hurt because of all the PEEOTUS jokes.

On a serious note, this actually happened. The Trump campaign removed harsh language regarding Russia/Ukraine from the Republican platform. He then implied the US would not defend its NATO commitments in Eastern Europe. Granted this happened in July and I’m not sure when this report was written. The best I could find…

They had to wait for someone to leak it.
