I guess if I'm paying $9 million I wouldn't mind gutting the many terrible parts. -- nm - mafic Nov 7, 21:44 2
- Depending on the zoning, the price might be for the land alone. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 7, 22:38 1
  - place looks perfect for a wedding/private events location -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 7, 23:37
I like the look of this one, more—less land, but better look—-also, what is happening on Central Saanich—is that some sort of tech hub? 💰🤑 -- (link) - flavorize Nov 7, 21:15 5
- I wouldn't want to have to mow that strip of lawn next to the cliff. -- nm - Ender Nov 7, 21:27 3
  - no, you have a new gardener for that every month. - mafic Nov 7, 21:46 1
    - Because they quit, right? - spamlet Nov 8, 03:45
  - Hmm...what about lemmings? Do lemmings eat grass? Sorta a win/win there -- nm - Flavorize Nov 7, 21:39
- Yup, that's a home rather than a museum. -- nm - Meg Nov 7, 21:24
…mistakes were made. -- nm - Mop Nov 7, 21:07
I don't get the Knives Out comparison at all. -- nm - Ender Nov 7, 21:04 1
- The red book room reminded me of the chair room, mostly. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 7, 21:06
It’s very well staged… just as you said, Bery, cartoonishly so -- (edited) - flavorize Nov 7, 20:56 2
- It's like every room was designed by a different person. No continuity - and what's with people and *red*? -- nm - Meg Nov 7, 21:02 1
  - Yeah—exactly. Also, no price history—sketchy. $200k of prop furniture and guessing $3M+ added on the asking price, for the “presentation” -- nm - flavorize Nov 7, 21:18
