Yeah, like an institution. In fact, the exterior looks just like a new medical clinic here — One for immigrant workers, no less. All I like about the entire house is the skylight. And no indoor pool (anymore)... What a ripoff.

We see a lot of this in Palm Beach County - and it was common in Los Altos/Los Altos Hills CA as well - to wit: Anyone with $10M+ to spend on real estate wants their dream expressed; they do not want to spend $10M+ to buy someone else's attempt to express their own dream. Evander Holeyfield had a property outside of Atlanta that some suggested he spent $115M on. Three swimming pools, basketball courts, helipad, etc., etc., etc. It was foreclosed upon after he tried to sell it for several years. It auctioned for something like $9-$10M.

Skylights can be kind of a mess. They can leak, sun can shine down when you don’t want it, etc.

Everyone I’ve known who had one had a lot of problems with it.

(Of course, the people I’ve known weren’t in Jordan’s tax bracket, but I doubt a skylight anywhere is without problems.)

I was once enamored of Bucky Fuller type ‘Dome Homes’. Then I met some people who had actually lived in one...:-)
