This is essentially Willow Glen. People who live there drive their Audis around with monochrome oval window stickers that sport the postal code, 95125. So proud, they seem. This particular neighborhood is good, but certainly not luxurious. Not surprised that it’s going for >$2M, since it looks like the home had work done.
It’s best if they sell it now, though. I honestly can’t see how property values will stay this inflated over the longer term.
But in relation to the piece, yeah, why five bedrooms and over 3000 square feet? That’s pretty big for an old single dude. Just a little north on Meridian Ave at Curci Drive, there’s a really nice retirement apartment complex, fully staffed, I think they might even have memory care at that location. They should look into that.
Then there’s the hypocrisy. I just have to shake my head.
“diocesan priests promise to live in chastity and respect their superiors” this quote is confusing me more. Why does he need a house to live alone, especially with so many bedrooms? If they really wanted to buy him a house, they could easily find any options anywhere in the US. For example, this one is quite nice I guess, https://tranio.com/usa/adt/1708457/
Yup. Church I grew up in spent a lot more time and energy asking parishoners for money to build a gym than they ever did for feeding and housing the poor.
Poor folks are not allowed to use that gym, either.
The thing is, it’s always been about both, and the inherent contradictions have driven so much of Western theology, philosophy and history it’s not even funny. That’s what you get with a two-thousand year old massive organization that has had literal saints and utter scumbags in charge of it, not to mention every possible gradation of human virtue and vice in between.
