It looks like the solution might have been to dump some rocks around a couple edges. Very robust and durable, I’m sure. Or simple to remove.
I didn’t enter the contest because the house did not come with a bocce court. But after looking at that picture, maybe I should have.
First hurricane and that is toast......................
If you can buy your way out of a problem, you don’t have a problem. As Bongino says, the job of government is to say NO and make you grovel. That’s the point of much of the permitting system anyway.
When I saw the headline my first thought was to wonder why a Church Father would have an opinion on a 2024 house.
The winner gets the home fully furnished, a new Mercedes-Benz and $100,000 cash.
Wow, what’s the tax hit here?
So, in the past these houses sat on leased land, the way HGTV dream houses in the past have? So the winner has to pay some yearly fee even though they outright own the house. Is that the case on this one as well?
Wonder what the insurance is?
What good is it to win a Coastal Getaway’s home if you can’t pay the taxes on the prize worth.
Beautiful home but all I can think of is bugs, bugs and more bugs/
Wait'll they get their tax bill. By then, even the $100K...that should have gone to pay taxes...will have been spent on water toys. In a couple years, this home will be on the market to satisfy the IRS lien on the it.
Swamp Life.
I use to live in Lani Kai Oahu. The most exclusive place on Oahu. If one wanted to do any upgrades they had to “upgrade” the sea wall which would cost a billion dollars. So there were all kinds of schemes and tricks used but still had to keep certain walls upright on the old house. It was so stupid and convoluted.
BUT.... Obama didn’t have any problems getting permits (if they were even required) when he got his place. Not a worry in the world when the Kenyan bastard wanted what he wanted. I suspect being a very liberal LGTBTQWTF loving network which worshipped the Obama Lightworker has something to do with permitless construction by the LGBT, I mean HGTv, network.
NICE house—wrong place for me.
