    There is a cool stairway and a wildish park on one side of this place,
    that we walk now and then, and we've been seeing the construction for
    years now.

    It's full of gadgets. Motorized drapes, windows, doors, and even
    walls. Home theatre. Remote-controlled lighting. Climate-controlled
    wine cellar. All that stuff.

    It has a/c, which is very rare around here. I guess all that glass
    facing south would import maybe 50 kilowatts peak of sunshine heat.

    I wonder how many remotes it has. How many batteries to replace every
    year. Does it come with a training course? A resident
    butler/technician?

    All that junk will be broken in a few years.

    $2000 per square foot, but it does have a nice view looking south.
