Al's finally coming out ?

And they call him a powerful person in the press release too. *snicker*

Al Gore went from being a conservative as a congressman to a radical leftist.

Al Gore can finally be Al Gore and he is loving it.

Al Gore's Move to San Francisco Generates Real Estate Buzz

Yeah ...like ... there goes the neighborhood

[EDINVA]

I kept looking for the 'scrappleface' source line.

[Brilliant]

What's his reason for moving to SF, I wonder? He obviously isn't planning to run for anything in Tenn.

'Gee, can't wait to find a place to live near "The Inventor of The Internet!" Does that mean I'll get a faster connection? Aw pleeezz Al!' /snicker

This is great news. Now most of them will all be in one spot, all in one neighborhood. You'll have "The Inventor of the Internet" living at #23. HillBilly Clintons at #25. M&M at #27. Babs at #29. "The Boss" at #31...

They can all form a voting bloc and... ummmm... take over City Council? Swing San Francisco way over to the Left?

The possibilities are endless!

"There's something about living near a person so powerful and important that really excites folks," he says.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. That's a good one!

[Razz Barry]

I guess he got all those fences mended in Tennessee.

[petitfour]

Al's planning to run for Governator of California. Not surprising.

[Ruth A.]

To much of the country, the estimated $2 million the Gores spent for their condo might seem astronomically high, but in the pricey San Francisco market it's considered reasonable.

Sounds like he's Al Poor and can't afford a higher floor or price tag.

[bayareablues]

Loser. Another carpetbagger who could probably run for something and actually win here, the place is so far gone.

SF, what a perfect little fiefdom for Little Lord Fauntleroy.

Re: "'There's something about living near a person so powerful and important that really excites folks....'"

Hmmm... a sequoia tree is pretty powerful... for a tree.

FYI: Did you folks know that "sequoia" captures all 5 vowels - "y" is not allowed ;-)

[garylmoore]

I guess that he's showing his true character just by where he choses to live.

[Proud_USA_Republican]

as my father used to preach to me from an early age:

"Losers gravitate toward other losers".

the guy is obviously talking about tipper

St. Regis highrise?

Isn't that west of the fault line where the San Fernando Plate is predicted by geologists to slide into the sea?

Al you made a boner again!

[peyton randolph]

Because this is (a) Al Gore and (b) a press release, I'm skeptical.

I find it hard to believe Al would part with that much dough. That leaves to distinct possibilities.

1. He is an anchor tenant...getting the place for a big break in price in exchange for his celebrity status to draw other owners at higher prices. Easy way for a developer to fill those last 20 spaces (probably more) that are conveniently available in the press release.

2. Al's TV venture is footing the bill for it, i.e. the investors in his flop are paying for it.

[Ronin]

Frisco deserves albore.

[maxter]

This is a joke right? People so excited to see and live near the infamous (drum roll please) Al Gore????????

[Berlin_Freeper]

Whatever happened to Al Gore TV?

I guess he wants to live next to his viewer.

lol
