Unfortunately this is just the outcome of an over regulated C&C/State. The more regulations, the higher cost to do business, which adds to the cost of living. To continue to be able to live and have your children live in this state, one alternative is to build these monster homes. They are completely legal per code and anymore regulation added to the building department will just mean it will be even harder to get a building permit for EVERYONE! People will always find a work-around. I certainly would not want to be a neighbor of one but I understand.
This story does seem to take OUR collective eye off real problems...doesn't it? How is it the terroist attack in NY and the cost rise of Obamacare ends up deep in the paper and not on the front page? Nice work once again SA🙄
