An acquaintance bought a house on Long Beach Island for $2m. His wife is president of some company and she commutes from LBI to NYC on weekends. She owns AN ENTIRE FLOOR of the former Ansonia Hotel.

Anyways, they tore down the $2m house to rebuild a $12m house.

Now I don't expect any sympathy from you because you probably never suffered from the disease, affluenza. But it is totally unacceptable to expect people like this to give up their weekend houses.

--- and there are a few thousand of them along the N.J. coast.
