One of the biggest homes in U.S. history is rising on a Los Angeles hilltop, and the developer hopes to sell it for a record $500 million.
Nile Niami, a film producer and speculative residential developer, is pouring concrete in L.A.’s Bel Air neighborhood for a compound with a 74,000-square-foot (6,900-square-meter) main residence and three smaller homes, according to city records. [...] including a 5,000-square-foot master bedroom, a 30-car garage and a “Monaco-style casino,” Niami said.

oh boy.
how many helipads?
pathetic
@NS
not enough.
Never sell, look at all those shitty little houses you have to fly past to get to it.
I don't even see this thing as a "house". It has a casino, for heaven's sake. It's large enough to host thousands. It's a gated private community, taken far beyond the subtler incarnations of what gated communities represent. It's blatantly a place where wealthy people will recreate while those who actually labor to keep the place running will enter through the poor door. Imagining the laborer being forced to wear an RFID tag to keep them accountable us not outside the realm of reality.
this is shit.
this is the pinnacle of shit.
you stupid fuckin' rich people....leaches...parasites....
The RFID tag won't be worn, it will be implanted. Maintenance personal and staff will be checked in and out by armed security like laborers in a diamond mine. Eventually whole neighborhoods will be secured with checkpoints and patrolled by Blackwater/Xe/Academi mercenaries.
humanity = FAIL.
I'm getting 74,000 people together to each vomit on one square foot each on the site next to that house and the result will be better for humankind (the vomit will biodegrade quickly).
Don't forget to visit the gift shop on your way out...
Don - maybe we can crowd source the vomit.
But does the vomit provide jerbs? 'Specially if it biodegrades so quickly?
