First up on #FridayNightZillow — a *stunning* Versailles-ish New York mansion built by William J. Levitt — the “Father of Suburbia” who struck it rich pioneering cookie-cutter homes, lived an insane life, then lost most of his wealth, this home & his yacht zillow.com/homedetails/38…
Levitt's life is a classic American saga that I’m frankly surprised hasn’t been turned into a major motion picture starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Scarlett Johansson. #FridayNightZillow 2/
Levitt built Levittowns all over, and he and his family pioneered treated house-building sort of like how Ford treated car building, with an uber-emphasis on efficiency. Made cover of Time as a developer of cheap houses in 1950! content.time.com/time/covers/0,…#FridayNightZillow 3/
Expanded menu of potential tax targets considered by Dems include:
*Stock buybacks
*Supersized CEO pay
*Billionaire unrealized cap gains
*Supersized IRAs
*Carried interest for fund managers
*Trusts used to elude estate/gift taxes
*Carbon (w/rebates)
*Virgin plastic
It's not clear how many of these if any will pass muster with Joe Manchin & Co, who now wants to hit the pause button on Biden's agenda, but the menu gives Democrats more options as they negotiate among themselves.
Per NYT stats, tiny Hot Springs County, Wyoming has had a stunning 3%+ of its population reported as COVID cases this past week. 23 a day average out of ~4600 residents. nytimes.com/interactive/20…
Headline from the "Big Horn Radio Network":
"HOT SPRINGS COUNTY SCHOOLS & BUSINESSES CRIPPLED BY COVID-19"
So, it's a lot on the dark side on the interiors for my taste and needs some updating, but:
*Already has chapel for weddings, chapel-things
*27BRs are from a previously built "care home"
*A truly colossal number of acres. You could build a theme park here if you wanted.
