So the California Supreme Court refused to get involved in my ongoing attempt to demolish my mansion in Woodside. See here. This is mostly due to the freakazoids who belong to this organization who have devoted their lives to thwarting me. And now they're all happy and proud of themselves. These nuts got a court to say that I can't destroy my own house and instead have to find a way to move the house from the location. But they can't come up with any money to move the house. Or a place to put it. Or something. I've even offered to kick in the dough to help make it happen. Still, nothing. Folks, look at this dump. What the hell good is it to anyone? Meanwhile you should see what I want to build there. I've had Frank Gehry making drawings for years. Basically I want him to come up with something like this. But oh no the preservationists won't stand for it! God forbid Woodside should move into the 21st century. Friggin philistines. They're like Microsoft. No taste.

FSJ, I was expecting the link to organization that has devoted their lives to thwarting you to have gone to Microsoft. Imagine my surprise when I learned the link went to your house's fan site like a geeked-out version of Amityville horror. Sheesh, warn us next time, will ya? My suggestion? Invest in termites.
The house... it's not that aesthetically pleasing as I would expect... It's really cool.. but I did not guess that's what...
They probably played Canned Heat at their victory party.
There's nothing appealing about that house in any of the pictures other than it's big and old. Far better stuff has been torn down in the name of progress. These people need to get a life.
Nineteen Frickin Twenty Six? I have a VCR in my attic that is older than this house. Jackling House--I'm sorry--what house? Nice to meet you Mr....Jackling is it? Should be demolished for the name alone. Seriously, the farm house on my property has got twenty five years on this abomination. Then again, I don't want to tear it down. I just want to rent it to hot college chicks with an affinity for asbestos, ungrounded outlets and topless sun bathing.
Next, some ad hoc group of concerned busy bodies is going to be up in my craw spouting some post Kelo bullshit and telling me I can't put webcams in the bathrooms. Damn socialists.
Behind everyone of these elderly, Gladys Kravitz historical ninnies is a man sleeping with his secretary. For god's sake, they want me to download a doc file--nuff said.
By the way, don't tell me the score of the Spurs game. I "time shifted" it on the tivo.
A little gasoline and a few matches would solve your problem quickly
whats the fine for not listening to the courts and demolishing it anyway?
cheaper than moving it i bet.
Way to give Minnesota a shout out!
old things become new
new things grow old quite quickly

To think that Sony gave you the perfect opportunity to get rid of your mansion.
Leave iBook asleep at mansion.
Battery explodes.
Apple recalls all laptop batteries.
Oh well.
That house you wanna build looks nothing like the kind of house SJ would live in. It's hideous! Where's all the glossy white flat surfaces? Are you high or something? Oh well, it's not like you even read these comments anyway. X_X
You can do better than the Weissman. I used to walk by that place every day and think to myself that someone should have been fired for spending money on it.
I don't care if a big name architect designed it.
The place had only one redeeming feature: it had a nice way of reflecting the more fiery sunsets.
fsj - fer god's sake, just sell the damn thing! go out to the lawrence expressway in a pick-up, grab some "undocumented" workers and just clean up the grounds a bit (it's looking a bit scroungey). get some hottie real estate agent out there who you or larry are banging on the side, and bingo - profit. take it and get a decent place in half moon bay that frank gehry can go wild on.

They want historical art, give 'em historical art. You can buy this sculpture < http://www.decrepitoldfool.com/index.php/weblog/comments/172/ > very inexpensively and the neighbors will do anything to get you to remove it.
When you are done with it, mail it to someone who will appreciate its symbolism. Each week it could appear in a different yard and we can figure out why the recipient is so deserving.
Steve, Steve, Fake Steve,
I hate to see old buildings crumble, but heck, that's the way the cookie goes, soooooo....
Couldn't you make Greenpeace and the super old before mankind historical society happy and make some kind of monastic garden? Just plant all kinds of organic gardens there. You could have a pond where you could skinny dip. What could be more historical? What could be more natural?
And a tee pee tent. That's native, right?
It's the proverbial pomegranate. Win-win
Anyway, go to your local library and check out this book. It will help you like an old friend.
"The Habitat Garden Book: Wildlife Landscaping for the San Francisco Bay Region," "The Organic Guide to San Francisco"
Go, preservationists! Too many people just want to rip down our history. Take a lesson from Europe, where buildings are more respected and kept up for centuries. Not like restless Americans in an endless quest for something new.
I hope that like Frank Lloyd Wright's Gordon House in Oregon, a reasonable effort is made to move the house off the property and elsewhere for reconstruction.
So your attorney's an idiot? Fire the moron. He can't figure out what's wrong with friggin CEQA? What a dork. FSJ, I thought you hired the best, not the rest.
Aaaah haaaahh....
If you can't win this one, dood, you may as well pack it in. Game over.
Loser.
