[quote=jpinpb]I am in favor of property rights, of course. But if you didn’t like the house, is that the only house in that area that he could buy? No one in that area would sell their house to Jobs (probably money no object) Is that location one of a kind? No other homes in the vicinity? It had to be that home and now he has to tear it down? It’s a shame. Why buy a home if you don’t like it and want to tear it down? If it is the only location, okay. If it’s the only thing you can afford, I guess. My guess, that’s not a problem for Jobs.[/quote]
He bought it in the late 80s, lived in it for 10 years, then rent it out for a period of time, then it was vacant for the last 10-11 years.
