Mr. Bloomberg bought an estate in Bermuda, called Stokes Bay, by 1998. He demolished the 2,620-square-foot house and commissioned a local architect to replace it with a $10 million home nearly three times its size in Tucker’s Town.
Even by Bermudan standards, it was flashy: five balconies, four bedrooms, seven bathrooms, an in-ground pool and space for four cars, all hidden by a gated driveway, according to documents on file with the Bermuda Department of Planning.
Me:
What are the odds that the 2620 square foot house he demolished was blighted? Pretty slim.
Do rich powerful men like rip perfectly fine buildings down to build a monument to their egos? Looks that way.
Does Mayor Turtleburg understand Bruce Ratner’s desire to rip down an entire neighborhood so he can build an airplane hangar stadium so the worst team in the NBA can stink up Brooklyn? Looks that way.
