If you want to go after Jeb Bush (and I can't stand the man) do so on the merits.
Otherwise, you sound just like the Democrats, trashing only those of whom you disapprove for their wealth.
Unfortunately, for custom construction in a relatively remote area with relatively high costs locally, $200 / s.f. isn't all that pricey. I've been following Fine Homebuilding magazine since it began publication in the late 70s, and they always list $/s.f. on their featured houses. $185 and up is typical.
And if he can afford it and likes it, why the heck not? We intend to build when we retire, and even in the South and doing much of our own finish work, I expect something north of $100 per.
I know one of the famous TV builders. He told me that he was working on a rehab job. I think he said it was $1500 a square foot. That’s over the top.
$1.4mm in a resort town is a modest cottage.
In the end, we won't have to do anything. DBS is still alive and well. Hopefully Jeb is gone well before then.
It may be that the most effective tool to use against Jeb - the fact that his brother never lifted a finger to combat the slander of his and his family's name. All those years we spent in disgust at his lack of engagement to push back the filth spewed by the left? It may work out to our advantage after all by ensuring Jeb can't get past the primaries for the sheer amount of ridicule. The lefties simply cannot help themselves and won't wait for very long before they unleash their flying BDS monkies...
Personally, I don't see the harm if we help out.
Be ready to be flamed. But I totally agree with you.
Nonsense.

I agree and the same goes for the Terri Schiavo issue. He did more than any other politician has ever done in such a circumstance.
Now, Jeb should retire from public life and enjoy all his nice things.
“Unfortunately, for custom construction in a relatively remote area with relatively high costs locally,”
Kennebunkport is not remote, and contruction is pretty competive here in Maine. But I agree $200 sq ft sound about right for this type of construction.
