A horrid story re-enacted in every generation for thousands of years. Details may or may not clarify, but the appearance of prosperity is no guard against such as this.
Not to take away from the tragedy of the Kids and the wife losing their life, but I look this story up on the NY Post...and cant believe that that is a $2.1 million dollar home.
Bay area.
Very believable....................
I live in the bay area. Yes, that’s what 2 million dollar homes look like around here.
I can't prove it, however I believe Facebook/Meta is Evil and that rubs off on people that associate with it.
I also believe The Googles, They Are Evil, same deal.
You really need to get out more
Oh yeah. This is about the right price for a home in San Mateo.
Yeah, a $2.1 million home out there is a hovel.
The author could have provided a little more clarification between “fatally shot” and “shot dead”......
“and cant believe that that is a $2.1 million dollar home.”
I sold a well kept house for $128000 in south Alabama. Some people from San Francisco made an offer (it fell through). Their address was on the offer. I looked it up. Their house was about the same square footage as mine. The value of their house on Zillow was $1.1 million. That’s why, to me, trying to average house prices, income, or anything else in this country is meaningless.
Stopped reading at ‘meta engineer’ because the satisfaction was overwhelming.
I only regret that he didn’t take his frustration out on his former bosses at meta & google.
Shot fatally dead.....................
When I read of something like this I am reminded of a family two houses up from where we used to live in New Mexico. One day he came home, shot the wife, kids and himself.
When I lived in California decades ago I was broke—paycheck to paycheck.
After I moved out of the state I became prosperous.
Life is easy when you know the rules.
A similar thing happened here a couple of decades ago.
An Air Force non-com killed his wife and two kids and chopped them up in the bathtub, but then fled, apparently to Hawaii.
He was featured on an episode of America’s Most Wanted a couple of years later and was recognized by his neighbors ..................
Silicon Valley can really do a number on your head.
Not uncommon for expensive divorce to push over the edge.
A garden shed is worth 2.1 million dollars if it’s in the right zip code.
In the Palo Alto, Mountain View, Sunnyvale area, very believable. Not to mention Atherton or Woodside. In FR tradition I did not read to find out the specific town this event was located in.
On the other end of the scale, I have seen complete piles of trash houses go for north of $800K anywhere within 30-35 miles of that area. In 48 hours on the market.
I’m still trying to figure out how the children were shot dead but had “no sign of trauma to their bodies”. Terrible writing.
