Have you been on vacation lately, Charles? I feel like I'm rolling my eyes way more this morning than I have lately...

Oh God that's awful.

Everything the Electric Light Orchestra touches is golden. GOLDEN.

Looks like they took down their anti-Obama banner.

Oh dear God Chuck,

I bet those bastards have a FULL KITCHEN which they (gasp!) COOK in (oh the horror!!) AND I bet that kitchen (get me my smelling salts!!!) includes a REFRIGERATOR/FREEZER!!!!

I totally get your outrage. The indignation is more than a sole of your delicate disposition should be expected to bear. There ought to be law…

These miscreants clearly should be pilloried.

To be fair, that is pretty hideous.

Randall Spann, the property owner, may have a kitchen here, but he also is building micro "apodement" type housing on Cap Hill.

this asshole is fucking up all parts of town...

these asshats live around the corner from my dad and stepmom's house. i have watched that lot in various stages of construction and have not liked it at ANY stage.

A stately pleasure dome, indeed. With all the subtle good esign taste of Donald Trump.

People have been building stuff like that in Leschi forever. (We had friends of the family in the 70s that lived in a new 4-story house there, and they invited us over a couple of times to watch the Blue Angels.) I don't know why this particular building provokes any more consternation than the dozens of similar buildings in the neighborhood. Well, except for the anti-Obama sign.

Give it 20 years and hipsters will be fighting to save it from demolition, like the Ballard Denny's.

and who lives here? charles foster mudede?

A hillbilly version of Xanadu, maybe. I don't see anything resembling opulence in this photo.

If it doesn't have a fireplace you can walk into, it's no Xanadu.
