   ~ Breaking News ~ Just saw it on a news crawl: “Russian billionaire pays $100 million for CA home -Highest Price Ever Paid for A Home”.

   OK, bubbleinfo detectives. I have two questions: Where is it located and are there pictures?

   Seems like a place Kramer (from Seinfeld) would live in. 🙂

   Still an awful lot of money for (essentially) a nice lot.

   Wow – have never seen carpet like that. Looks like the biggest braided throw rug ever. Loved your comments about the shower…but if you drop something in it, how on earth do you bend over to pick it up?

   @Kathy – That’s the candy striped carpet look from the 50’s and 60’s. It probably lasted this long because it’s high quality wool carpet.

   Sure is a little shower, but people were thinner 50 years ago.

   @no_techie: they got their money’s worth on that carpet then!

   Wow, that’s a teardown, IMHO. So, is the land worth $960k?
