ParticipantThat’s just heartbreaking. That guy has more money than he knows what to do with. He can’t fix it? Well, I’m sure it’s no secret to anyone on this board how I feel about historical homes. It is a pity this one was demolished. California doesn’t have very many to start out with. Such a shame. I mean, seriously. There’s no other house in town he could’ve bought and razed? Maybe some ugly house from the ’50’s through the ’80’s? Very disappointing.

Guestjp, I agree that Steve Jobs could have saved the house. He has more than enough money.
Jobs has the money to fight the conservationists. But the average person doesn’t have the wherewithal to fight a long battle.
When I look at the old neighborhoods of San Diego, I feel that our building restrictions are a missed opportunity to have a denser, more compact and livable city.
Families would not need to spread out to the suburbs and exurbs if they could rebuild old houses to the size and comfort levels they need.

ParticipantI am with jp, what a shame. The interior wood used in the older places is usually beautiful if you can get the paint off it. The floors are hard wood. Yes the rooms are smaller, but there are usually ornate areas that more than make up for what you lack in square footage and cheaper to heat. Jobs is a jerk to do that.
I am sure he let it deteriorate on purpose as an excuse to tear it down. That is what was happening to the old “Dragon Cottages Colony” in La Jolla.
