I guess he was so angry at the damn cancer he had to let it out somewhere.

He has been trying to demolish that house for years. I doubt it had anything to do with his health......

I think I saw that house in a documentary somewheres - sort of ugly and nothing at all special... who cares?

Next time use a smile to indicate sarcasm. You can't tell sarcasm reading from words and I have seen some post like this before and was serious.

Hugh Laurie isn't going to be too happy about this.

But, really, when you are as powerful and revered as the RDF King, a tardy diagnosis is not to be tolerated.

I remember now - saw it in a documentary about So Cal homes and Steve wanting to tear this down.

Ugly anyways and I think he did them a favor...

Yea I agree. I don't know what the big deal is. It's really just an old house that a famousish person designed and another one lived in. Its like it was a frank lloyd wright or something.

I'm interested to see what he's planning to build in it's place.

These were out quite awhile ago since he needed them to get approval to demolish a "historical home". They're aren't crazy detailed and I've heard they may be faked but it seems very utilitarian just like most apple products.

His crypt, perhaps a pyramid, or something already designed by “Bucky” Fuller?

That's built into the side of a mountain isn't it?

Better hope he actually gets to see whatever he has built in its place.

FWIW, I got the sarcastic vibe when I read it.
