You've resisted previous price “improvements”, but how about now?

/

545 Indian Field Road, Mead Point, originally listed in August 2023 at $57.995 million, has taken another price cut and is now offered for just $44.6 million.

A renovation and expansion of a 1928 mansion purchased in 2012 from the estate of Danish shipping magnate Ole Skaarup (a fascinating man), the house, the property it sits on and Mead Point itself are all pretty impressive.

So go ahead, big spender: go for it.

Well, the average liberal's memory span is the lesser of two minutes or the government changing its message, so Newsom’s probably doing the right thing here

i didn’t say it

I suspect that CNN’s exposing the governor’s lie is due to his apostasy on an issue dear to Liberals’ hearts. Clips of Obama, Biden and Hillary opposing gay marriage, or advocating government waste-reduction programs have surfaced on conservative sites, but never in the Mainstream Media.

I'm pretty sure it's the price that's holding this house back and not how it's presented.

The buyer of 121 Round Hill Road paid $2.250 for it in 2022, did nothing with it, and put it back on the market 41 days ago priced at $4.5 million and pitched as a land sale. No buyers having appeared, they’ve now created separate listing that describes it as “now ready for a full renovation”. Huh? A potential buyer who looked at it as land but rejected it, will now come back because it’s now been brought to his intention that the exixting wreck could be renovated?

It’s Same land, same house, same 100% markup. I predict the same result.

An easy sell

Penthouse at 680 Steamboat Road #8, $4.850 million, contract in 10 days. It’s a co-op, not a condominium, and having representing a (different) co-op board in town many years ago, I’m not a fan of that form of ownership, but that’s never bothered buyers here in the past — maybe they all came from NYC? — and obviously it’s still no hurdle.

The same unit sold for $4.425 in 2021, and $3.975 in 2012.

Rick Wilson Suspended From X for Promoting Violence Against Tesla

Matt Margolis, PJ Media:

“Now that his violent rhetoric has gotten him suspended from X, Wilson is desperately trying to backpedal, claiming he wasn’t advocating for more violence.”

“One of the things that's really important to understand, Elon took me off Twitter claiming I was calling for violence against Tesla,” he said in a video he posted to YouTube. He then challenged anyone to read the article (which is paywalled, nice try) and find any reference to where he calls for anyone to attack Elon or Tesla dealerships.

“Either the MAGA folks didn't read it or they can't. I'm generally leaning towards the latter.”

Margolis:

Let’s not forget that Wilson used violent rhetoric against Donald Trump back in 2015, when, during an appearance on MSNBC with Chris Hayes, said “The donor class can't just sit back on the sidelines and say, 'Oh, well, don't worry, this will work itself out.' They're still going to have to go out and put a bullet in Donald Trump.” 

Allies of Wilson in this terrorist campaign also claim they aren’t calling for violence; their denial is as specious and believable as the former Republican’s.

There’s even a website called Dogequest, with an interactive nationwide map that allows budding terrorists to track down Tesla dealerships and even individual Tesla owners.

The proprietors of the site claim their intent isn’t malicious, which must be why the map cursor is a Molotov cocktail.

Attorney General Pam Bondi accuses 3 Tesla vandals [sic] of ‘domestic terrorism’ after string of attacks

Three people accused of destroying Tesla cars and charging stations are facing up to 20 years in prison for “domestic terrorism,” US Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Thursday.

“The days of committing crimes without consequence have ended,” Bondi said in a statement.

“Let this be a warning: If you join this wave of domestic terrorism against Tesla properties, the Department of Justice will put you behind bars,” she added.

The defendants are accused of using high-powered weapons and explosives to destroy property from the Elon Musk-owned car company.

AR-15 semi-automatics and gasoline bombs (Good news: if the Extinction Now people get their way and petroleum is banned, Molotovs will be a thing of the past.)

One allegedly carried a suppressed AR-15 rifle while lobbing eight Molotov cocktails at an Oregon Tesla dealership, while another is accused of trying to light Tesla cars on fire with the same explosives in Loveland, Colorado.

The third allegedly vandalized charging stations for the electric cars with profane anti-Trump rhetoric, then torched them with Molotov cocktails, according to the US Department of Justice.

Each face a minimum of five years in prison if convicted, but the charges carry a maximum penalty of 20 years.

Look for prosecutors to go for the maximum; this is not Sleepy Joe’s DOJ.

UPDATE: Not the Bee has further details.

Well, this will come as a relief to the neighbors

A renovated and expanded 2 Random Road, $4.895 million, is reported pending.

The property has a colorful history, which I wrote about a few years ago; it was quite a sight back then, and for years before.

Neighbors complain of mess at Old Greenwich property: ‘This is what I have to look at every day’

GREENWICH — For more than five years, some residents of Old Greenwich have been in a dispute with their neighbor over the condition of a Random Road property.[2 Random Road — ed]

Old barbecue grills litter both the front yard and backyard, and there are several parked cars, discarded jet skis and folded-up ping pong tables in the front yard.

Neighbors said they worry that the old grills, which may be coated with old grease and meat residue, could attract vermin or act as a fire hazard. And personal interactions have gone badly as well, neighbors say, as the person who lives there has refused their pleas for change.

Complicating any legal action is ownership of the property — it belongs to Deutsche Bank although the former owner still lives there — and eviction and other remedies were put on hold because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Since December 2020, more than $30,000 in fines have been levied against and sent to the owner — Deutsche Bank — with an additional $100 added every day because of the conditions, Assistant Town Attorney Aamina Ahmad said.

Deutsche Bank has not paid the fines nor any taken action to evict the occupant, even though the federal eviction moratorium has ended, Ahmad said recently.

“This is a pretty bad situation on the property,” Ahmad said. “We have been in contact with the neighbors, and we’re trying pretty hard to do something and get that stuff out of there. Deutsche Bank unfortunately has not been very cooperative with us.”

The town has “reached out to them and asked their attorney to please move on the eviction case, and basically, we have been told that Deutsche Bank has a hold on it,” he said.

Attorney Justin Ortega, who represents Deutsche Bank in the matter, did not return phone calls or an email seeking comment. The occupant could not be reached for comment via phone; his listed number is not in service.

…

Neighbors say they have been putting up with the situation for years, with no relief.

“My heart just sinks when I see this,” neighbor Eileen Smiles said. “I worked my whole life to be able to live on a road like this and have my kids grow up on a street like this. I continue to work hard and pay all my taxes and pay all my bills — and this is what I have to look at every day.

“This is taking away from all our property values. I was told by a Realtor I couldn’t sell my house if I wanted to because of this. Nobody wants this,” she said of the nearby property.

Carlos Serra, who owns the property next door, has similar concerns about the current state of the property. He described it as in “declining condition” over the past five years — and said the lot resembles a junkyard, except it’s in a neighborhood zoned only for residential use.

The relationship between the occupant and the neighbors has been contentious since at least 2015, when the former owner was taken to court in a dispute over parking vehicles on a parcel of land between his property and that of a neighbor.
