Abandoned Jackling House - Steve Jobs

[helveeta]

I live in a town that dates back to the Bronze age. A church built in the 1100s lies about 150 meters away. It's wonderful for my children to attend Christmas services and walk past on their way to school each day. Not some cardboard box as would have been built in the last 30 years. Americans tear down beautiful architecture and build crap. They will never have that experience and appreciate centuries of tradition.

I get the strong impresssion that the hou$e had the la$t laugh; because of Job's death. Could it be that since he neglected the house, the house CUR$ED STEVE JOBS???

[zep0c0llie]

Bad Karma aint that right Steve jobs should of left it alone..

[FinSituation]

@TheKishmar Yeah but new structure suck, techonology replacing jobs is bullshit, I think everybody would be okay with the 90s television and no stupid HD and normal cellphones not some nerdy touchscreens,i think everybody would survive without this modern techonology, use the energy to something more important..

WTF?

If you want to preserve a home - BUY IT.

Who the hell are these people to tell what other people can do with THEIR OWN PROPERTY?

[KissofDawn2012]

My house in San Jose, CA was built in 1907. We purchased it in 2007. The city has never cared what we do to it. Luckily it was all restored before we bought it.

Gotta love Progressives....Always getting in your business and trying to tell you what to do.

Ugly house. Too big, too ugly. Why keep this piece of junk if he wants to build something smaller, prettier & energy efficient etc.

[sxctime1]

That's not old... it's just not looked after.... we have 500 year old buildings in Ireland.... 8I

[redtestarossa]

It's a gorgeous home,

[floroboro1]

jobs should fix it and give it to his daughter lisa

[notsosmart]

@floroboro1 Lisa, is that you?

[floroboro1]

@notsosmart no but most parents take care of their kids unlike this douche

[jtcolfax]

excellent...local photographer...ha,...you are Everywhere.

[TheKishmar]

it is the man's house on the man's land and he should be able to do what he wants with. It's not even that old it was built in the 1920's there are people older than this house.

[SSHPCS2]

@TheKishmar I agree. Unless it is totally ancient or a extremely important person it shouldn't be destroyed. Jackling? Never heard of him.

[BullWinkus]

We mustn't cling to every architectural relic of the past. We owe it to our children and them to our grandchildren to pass on the freedom to be creative in their own right, and not force upon them the decaying excesses of previous fortunes and misfortunes.

@BullWinkus

perfectly said.

[Tonyo1221]

looks like it could be a very beautiful and historic residence. I'd keep it. There's no replacing it once it goes, it would be gone forever. Why doesn't he do it up and why build a new smaller house on the site. $5million is peanuts to him - he's a billionaire. Strange guy, maybe he's a little obsessed with all things new and smaller like his technology, ipods getting smaler and smaller and forever being replaced. But this I think would be lost at a cost to the community.

[Punkdoggy800]

The house was built in the early 1900's it's going to fall apart one day. Jobs says it would cost more to restore then to replace. It wasn't like some very famous person lived there. The inside is abandoned, a photographer sneaked in a few years ago and got a few photographs, walls are tumbling down, mold everywhere and vines are growing inside. If you saw the outside it looks old and abandoned. Jobs would tear it down, and build a much nicer newer house,.

" Why doesn't he do it up and why build a new smaller house on the site. $5million is peanuts to him "

Yeah.

Hey, can I spend YOUR money how I see fit to spend it?

[cambrianguy]
