- And finally, Great Moments in Self-Abnegation, is brought to us this week by Town of Palm Beach, in which Diogenes devotee and and midcentury modern architecture aficionado sued the City of Palm Beach after it denied his application to replace his beachfront mansion with a wooden barrel in which to reside. JK! He sued after the city denied his request to replace his 10k sq. ft. mansion with a modest 25k sq. ft. midcentury modern abode. According to the owner, “the midcentury modern design communicated that the new home was clean, fresh, independent, and modern—a reflection of his evolved philosophy of simplicity in lifestyle and living with an emphasis on fewer personal possessions.” As the court drily noted {in a rather delightful opinion), “His emphasis on fewer personal possessions included two stories and a basement containing a five-car garage, wine storage area, and steam room. The first floor would have an open-air entry, guest rooms, dining room, kitchen, family room, powder rooms, and living room. The open-air entry would lead to the pool, spa, and cabana. The second floor would have more guest rooms, an exercise room, and the master bedroom.” Alas, the obscenely wealthy – and certainly not the meek – look to be inheriting the earth. Given the clear and present warming trend, not to mention that Palm Beach will shortly be underwater – they’re welcome to it.
