OT: California Governor's Mansion

san_jose_guy
money was invented for handing to women, but buying dances is a chump's game
Built in 1877 for private parties, then bought by the state in 1903

Nancy Reagan had refused to live in it, moving out after only 4 months in 1967. So their Hollywood friends built this monstrosity in the suburb Carmichael. Finished just after Regan was leaving office.

But then Jerry Brown refused to live in that. Having the state rent him a small apartment. He also refused to ride around in a limousine.

I knew he tried to sell the Reagan Mansion, but the state legislature blocked him.

Well it turns out that by the end of his second term, 1982, the Reagan Mansion was sold. I had not known this.

Then Deukmegian, Wilson, and Davis each lived in different Carmichael residences. And Schwarzenegger stayed at Hilton Regency Hotel when he stayed over. But usually he commuted each day by his private jet from his home in the Brentwood area.

The original Governor's Mansion had been converted to a museum right after the Reagans moved out.

Jerry Brown had been married in 2005. During his third term they lived in a loft in downtown Sacramento.

I had been afraid that with him now married, that he was living in the Reagan Mansion. Not so. And with his third term he moved with his wife back into the original Governor's Mansion.

It's not really that big, not the foot print. Its a Victorian, 3 stories and with a steep roof.

I see this as a very positive story.

And people were right to wonder if Nancy Reagan was going to be willing to live in the White House.

Want to know about her?

I deal with politicians today who talk about how much they always admired Nancy and of how she was "a gracious lady".

    You must really be out of touch with reality if you think I actually click on your links. lolololololololololololol

    Look, I don't want to be mean, but IMO, you've earned it with your incessant posting of stuff not related to the forum. You do it when you continually post off-topic threads and post comments unrelated to the threads posted by other members. There are so many other forums related to your interests...why are you here if you can't stay remotely on topic?

    I feel bad for you and wonder what is so wrong with your life that you have to be here shitting in the swimming pool? From your comments on numerous threads you

    1. Don't currently go to strip clubs or like the activities therein.
    2. Can't find an AMP that will let you in.
    3. Have serious issues against women, including disturbing polygamous sex-slave fantasies.
    4. Want to talk about everything except strip clubs.

    And you wonder why your comments are unwelcome and incongruent with the forum? To contrast, 99.9% of the members here

    1. Currently go to strip clubs, or like them.
    2. Are able to find happy arrangements with Mamasan if they so choose.
    3. Like women and don't secretly wish to keep them locked in a basement for sexual gratification.
    4. Can refrain from posting off-topic threads and comments.

    You drone on and on about how pathetic members here are for using strip clubs for sexual gratification, yet somehow it's better that you and your make-believe "organization" will keep women in slavery for sexual gratification?

    I'm not saying you shouldn't be here or even that you're not welcome here. I'm saying you should learn to keep your posts on topic for this forum and take your unrelated posts to the appropriate forums off this site. If you don't, you deserve whatever ridicule comes your way.

    Let me guess...you're going to go on a passive-aggressive posting spree of comments not related to strip clubs/mongering just to get me to ignore you...just like you always do.

    wildbourbon.

    You are making a serious mistake here. I don't read your posts, but I do quickly scroll past them. You are acting like you know something about me.

    You know nothing about me. My real life is protected by multiple layers of privacy wall. I have political responsibilities, and some of them run 24-7. I protect the operational security of my affairs, and I protect my own privacy.

    You seem to think that by baiting me that you can get me to make disclosures. You are completely wrong.

    You are just being a jerk.

    @SJG Those multiple layers of privacy are clashing with one another, sort of like plaid and polka dots.

    Jerry Brown is certainly one of the most inspiring people to ever have held public office.
