Rush Limbaugh's $155M Estate Is Being Demolished

....Demolition has already started at the 1495 N. Ocean Blvd. property, purchased by Lauder from Limbaugh's widow. It's not the first time Lauder has bulldozed his buys to the ground: He tore down homes on two other Palm Beach lots and recently listed the parcels together for a sale price of $200 million, the Wall Street Journal reported earlier this year. Limbaugh's erstwhile two-story, five-bedroom manse, built in 1992, boasted almost 22,000 square feet; the parcel also featured two smaller residences.

Although no blueprints have yet been handed over to local officials, word is that Lauder plans on erecting a custom home on the land. Lauder isn't the only billionaire who has recently succumbed to the knock-it-down trend: A historic Houston mansion worth $24 million, purchased last year by Astros owner Jim Crane, was torn down this week. In that case, the residence was said to be ripe for razing, as the home had fallen on hard times due to "disuse and decay," per Chron.com.

It’s our turn then!

Let’s celebrate our extinction!

You could even hasten the process since you’re so gung-ho!

>I personally would rather have a lot of land than a lot of house.< >>That and a fishin’ hole. Well, maybe a small golf course. And a damn big garden!!!<<

I’d exchange the golf course for a shooting range. Make it at least a 15 acre stocked pond, multiple gardens, some land for goats, and a shooting range. A boy can dream.

Becoming high rise cinder block affordable housing mixed with shelters for the homeless and illegal aliens. Ground floor for halfway houses and drug rehab centers. Planned Parenthood in back lot.

Yes, I’m kidding.

Goldwater in 202?

Your idea sounds good, so long as I can shoot the goats. I hate goats.

One thing I should clarify, the Old Boston city Hall was, fortunately, not demolished and it still stands housing private businesses, and so forth.

But the 1969 Boston city hall is so hideous compared to a 2nd Empire gem, that I thougt it was the best comparison.

It’s good to hear that it didn’t meet the same fate as Penn Station.

Ah yes, the Grim Ziggurat neo-modern style.

I remember in advertently finding some show that fall around real estate agents in the LA area Del in the very high-end houses. People would spend millions, if not tens of millions of dollars on a really nice house, just to demolish it in build their own version of a “nice” house, which always looks worse than what they knocked down

“I guess this won’t turn into a historical property others can visit like say Mt. Vernon.”

It sure and the hell should! Rush is the biggest patriot in US history since Abe Lincoln. I intentionally said “is” and not “was” because I like to think his spirit is still with us and I miss him so much.

That house looks like a medical suite. I wouldn’t want either... Miss El Rushbo though. To each his own.

Rush Limbaugh's $155M Estate Is Being Demolished<<<

....Demolition has already started at the 1495 N. Ocean Blvd. property

Interesting combination of elements, so I'll just toss them out there:

Timing, of the destruction of the big house.
The Torah begins "with Rush" [..בראש].
The Torah begins with a big bet (the large letter bet, "house").
1495 is the sum of the value of the 22 letters of the alef beit.
155 [קנ"ה] is "the nest" [הקן], idiomatic for a home
[קנ"ה] is קנה, Cana of wedding feast fame, the miracle of turning water into secrets (wine/sod/70)
155 is "the Jewish People" [העם היהודי]
155 = an apsis [אפסיד], which is a 'vault' in the heavens, from the Greek ἁψίς (= 911).

That should be a crime. Destroying a beautiful, historical building with character to replace it with a modern, ugly, Orwellian monstrosity should be a crime.
And here you are wanting to make people's personal freedoms with private property a crime because YOU don't like it.

Was anyone stopping you from buying it and doing with it what you please?

What exactly is it's "historical" significance?

If Rush Limbaugh was so influential where is evidence of his influence?

Am I the only one that remembers he favored Marco Rubio over Trump in the beginning of the 2016 campaign?...

YES! the gang of eight. THAT Marco Rubio. Why is it that all the years of FreeRepublic, Rush and Fox etc., the so called champions of conservatism, things have only gotten worse?

In Rush's final days he was struggling to be relevant, he knew he wasn't. He even tried to compare his speaking abilities and how to hold an audience, to Trump.

The rapid growth of his cancer caught him off guard.
