Beverly Hills is very beautiful. The mansions are amazing and the lawns are well kept. It is the closest thing to heaven that i've ever seen on earth.

The part that puzzles me is spending $25 million to have such an ugly back yard and neighbors 10 yards away.

It's the same with living on the water. I around a mile or so from a river and in 2016, we had heavy rains and the river rose and I ended up with 3 feet of water in my home. I have no desire to live near water and for that reason New Mexico is looking like an attractive place to live.

Having been through a flood, the idea of living anywhere disaster prone isn't looking good to me. Too many of these houses in the hills have collapsed and I wonder why people buy and build them. I guess some ju... [ More ]

Living up on the unstable hillside is a status symbol and having your house slide down is the ultimate flex. They never learn. The sad thing is that all the development up in the hills in the rich parts of LA is what exacerbates the instability of the hillsides. Some people in the local gov't are getting rich allowing all these houses to be built.

Or the people that buy at the bottom of the hill. Just stay away from hills.

btw... the owner and house next to Castro has a much interesting story than Castro himself.

Glad Edwin's house is unharmed, story after story of house in California being buried by mud, do these people never learn? don't build there! They always say, It was an act of God, well maybe he doesn't want you to live these cause you'll be buried in mud and boulders.

Sometimes I just come to the usamega/lotterypost sites to click on the ads to support the cause.

LOL ...now I have that song stuck in my head.

Some guys have all the luck

Some guys have all the pain

Some guys get all the breaks

Some guys do nothing but complain.

Glad that Mr. Castro's mansion survived.

Some guys have all the luck.

this is why i only buy mansions at the bottom of an unstable hill. when a mansion above mine slides down onto my property, i get a free bonus mansion.

Both the girlfriend and the pool cleaner were rentals

I'd say he was lucky again.

Need I say it? This is why you rent everything that doesn't make you money. The yacht sinks, the plane crashes, kid wrecks the car, girlfriend runs off with the pool cleaner, house slides down the hill, good thing they were rentals ;-)

When the media, either through fires or mudslides shows these homes built precariously close to disaster it is no wonder insurance won't cover them.

Had to chuckle when Marvisi said the government should cover the cost of home repair/debris removal. Fat chance, maybe your billionaire neighbor Castro could pay for it. As far as I've seen the city will clear debris only from public roads, not private property. Too bad so sad you're not entitled to one red cent Marvisi.

OTOH Oregon lo... [ More ]

Silly California and it's laughably dated rules of not allowing lottery winners to claim (via a trust or anonymously if they choose to do so) means that every detail of a winner's life is broadcasted to the world. Yikes
