    I don't know why, but I find the idea of Larry Ellison as a Scientologist to be absolutely delicious. #tomcruise

    Why on earth would Tom Cruise be interested in moving to SF? I mean, economically, geographically or culturally . . . what of SF could possibly be of interest to Mr. Cruise?

    I just don't see it. #tomcruise

    It's normal to pay at least $550 per square for non-ghetto houses in Silicon Valley.

    In Palo Alto, the norm tends to be $800 per square plus.

    You might appreciate some of the houses here:

    [www.burbed.com]

    Today's entry is pretty good... $1.5M for a 5br/3.5ba. You pay $15k a year in property tax. And you get to live next door to a Museum of Rusted Trucks In a Driveway - who pays only $1k a year in property tax!

    Scroll down further for the house that recently went for $1294 per square foot. ($885k for 684 sqft.) I think it's closer to where Zuck lives.

    Ah, to go back to the peak of the housing bubble days when houses like these would go for twice the value. Oh well. Now Silicon Valley is all affordable. :( #jawedkarim

    Have you looked at real estate prices in Palo Alto? Most American suburbanites would be forced to live in a closet. Seven months out there and I thought I got a deal buying a house in DC. #jawedkarim

    @Lymed: Very true. Many of the houses in the neighborhood being discussed here are in the 600-1200 sq. ft. range and they were almost certainly fetching seven figures in 2006/2007. They've come down since then, but it's still insane. I see one that's 1100 sq. ft. for $1.1 million and one 684 at $885k. I'm fairly certain this is among Palo Alto's cheapest single-family-home neighborhoods.

    Also, it is called College Terrace, not College Park. It's correct in the tags, just not within the article copy.

    Could have been much, much worse. The wedding and/or reception RSVP could have been contingent on an investment in one of Donald's golf properties. #weddings

    "The reception was not held at Trump On The Ocean, the catering facility to be built at Jones Beach State Park, because Trump was so obnoxious in his dealings with the Parks Department regarding vulgar architecture, putting his name in 4 foot letters on the building, and building a basement in an oceanfront property, that the State sent his oft-revised plan to Pluto by catapult, and the public said "Good riddance to you and your combover, jerk." #weddings

    The groom and his party were outfitted in suits from the Donald J. Trump Signature Collection and smelled so great because they were wearing Donald Trump The Fragrance. Guests sipped on martinis made from Trump Vodka (shaken with ice cubes made from Trump Ice Natural Spring Water) before enjoying a dinner that featured cuts of beef from The Donald Trump Steaks Collection and a cake made with ice cream from Trump Parlor. Mr. Trump's gift to the bride and groom was an all expenses paid honeymoon -- booked through GoTrump -- and guests received one free class at Trump University, a vintage copy Trump The Game and VIP tickets to Mr. Trump's next lecture at The Learing Annex. #weddings
