What's a guy to do with an unwanted megahouse?
Sunday, October 11, 2009 | 12:01 am
Multiple use: A developer who made his fortune manufacturing golf clubs now says he's hurting because he can't sell an eight-bedroom, 16,500-square-foot spec house he built in the exurbs of Orange County, Calif. — at least not for anything close to his $10 million asking price.
So what's the poor guy going to do with the unwanted megahouse? The Buzz can think of three options:
Help ease severe overcrowding in California's prison system by housing inmates. About 50 7-by-9-foot cells could fit in the 3,200-square-foot master suite by itself.
Buy an Arena Football League franchise and play home games in the air-conditioned, 10-car garage.
Offer tax breaks to Boeing and try to lure the second 787 line.
It's the bottle talking: Drug manufacturers have finally come up with something really useful. It's a pill bottle that can send you phone messages if you haven't taken your dose in a while.
For aspirin, the message could be something along the lines of, “I'm good for the heart.” For Viagra, it's more like, “What's the matter? Keep striking out?”
