  • I’ve walked that Carnarvon house while it was under construction (for many years and several GC changes). The only reason it’s that many square feet is because it’s just a box. A lot of money was spent on finishes but as we all know you never get money back that you overspend on a house. Given historical market of these over the top and way out there on the fringes priced homes, I’d give it a hard $15mil sales price, no more.

    Que up the conservative Christians. “God said being gay is unnatural! Take this filth off! This is Texas not liberal California!”

  • Re: Residents need salary of $27,067 to own a home in Houston right now
    .
    This is ridiculous for several reasons: if someone with that low of a salary is owning a home, they may only be paying the property taxes since they bought it free and clear with their lottery winnings.
    .
    Or, they aren’t reporting their “real” salary to the IRS. Or, they are owning one of those Tiny Homes.
    .
    Therefore, I slap the “Fake News!” label on that article. (slap)

  • Does HEBBetterThanKroger do anything besides complain about conservatives? Holy cow, give it a rest. No ones gives a damn about your soapbox or political views.

  • I’m sure the Pride Wall will be cool, but I really, really, liked that gorilla painting!

  • Wolf Brand-I’m with you. That barely gets a car, garage apartment and groceries.
    HEB- thanks for taking a harmless art story and shi***** on it. It’s really getting stale.

  • @Gary Deller, I haven’t seen anything of value they’ve contributed. It seems as if they spend a lot of time focused on what other people think.

  • Does culture map even have an editor to prevent credibility wrecking headlines like this one?
