When you hear of the ridiculous prices for homes in California, it may like another cynical exploitation of the people but there is more value to these homes than is ever described in reports by the talking heads on television.
See, I'm tellin' you. It's art, damn it, and it's only, get this, only $3.2 million to buy but here's the thunderingly fantastic part: you can rent it ... for $900 per night. (Mother Nature Network: Flintstone House: Bay Area landmark is now on Airbnb)
The people in the area apparently hate the place because it's so out of place relative to the ritzy honkie conventions they're all required to follow but this architect delivered the middle finger and the most-recent buyer painted it orange just to be sure everyone can see The Bird is flying proud.
There you were thinking you can't even buy anything for three million anymore but the Flintstone House is available right now. Think of the joy in watching the neighbors driving by and each going into the practiced Stepford scowl.
Ed: I didn't know robots could scowl now?
Only in California because, well, everything is cooler in California.
Ed: what's cool about that as those robots are just copying Marvin from the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
Well, they have beautiful beaches!
Ed: sure, they do and it's frigid Alaskan water which flows by them plus it's full of Great White Sharks.
The sharks eat old surfers. It's evolution in action is all.
Note: it's true about the water as the East coast enjoys the warm Gulf Stream water going North but Californias get the cold Humboldt Current coming down from the North. Do pack a wet suit, dearie.
Assuming you don't get hypothermia from the cold water, you don't get eaten by Great White Shark, and you don't get run over by a California Stepford robot because you failed to conform, you can call this orange mansion home.
Ed: for $3.2 million!
Who can complain about the price of a famous landmark?
Ed: me!
Fair enough, Fred. It's a bitch what they did to your pad, man.
