King Lebron James made his house plans public, and they are impressive. 

The typical amenities that most mansions have will be the Master bedroom and have a 2 story, 2,000 sqft closet. Also a 6 car garage.

Now for the good stuff 

The home will have a movie theater, casino, two-lane bowling alley, barber shop, aquarium, sports bar and a recording studio.

35,000 sqft and no Startbucks…even Tommy Lee of Motley Crue has a Starbucks (along with a variety of of other toys)

It’s my dark little street that I live on. It’s like Disneyland that’s gone terribly wrong. It’s a fun place, like I started Tommyland when I named my house Tommyland, because to me it was the ultimate adult playground. There’s swings over the piano, sex swings in the bedroom, a Starbucks coffee thing in the bar, and a bar in a recording studio, a dirt bike track in the back to ride Dirt Bikes and swimming pools, Koi ponds and Japanese gardens. It’s like the ultimate adult playground and that’s where Tommyland came from. So I just kinda put that into my music or book or whatever.

So the question is…what is the thing that you would want in you house if you could have anything? 

I actually find that a hard question, because you have start thinking really absurdly to even start to get into the realm of what is possible…but for me, I would have to say, me and Lebron think alike…although I can do without the barbershop, and aquarium.

See, it's hard, I'm getting rational by saying I don't need the barbershop…

I thought this topic would interest a lot of people because last night something happened at our house that probably doesn't happen to a lot of people. It made me think about situational living and how it is hard to find real truth in neighborhoods. I think it would be interesting to read blogs about real events that happen in your neighborhoods, good or bad.

Basically, I live on a busy street in San Francisco, we hardly talk to our neighbors, but we do say "hi" if we see them. We also have our share of "shady" neighbors…that is really just a stereotype, because we have never really talked to them.

Last night around 11pm, we heard rapid-fire gun shots right outside our house. Maybe 8-10 shots really fast. I have shot a gun before so I'm familiar with the sound, but I have never been this close to "unknown" gunfire. It's pretty scary. 

Late at night we all turn the TV's down and we start to relax so gunfire is even louder then normal. Let me give you some situational living examples. If this has never happened to you, you will probably do this.

You hear rapid, loud "pops". If you are alone, you look the window, but since I was with Trang, we just looked at each other. Actually I think one eye was on Trang, and the other was on the window. You just sit there scared that a bullet might come through the window. It only takes about 5 seconds for all the "pops" to stop. Then you hear a car speeding away…but you still don't know what to do. Your hearts pumping even though you pretty much know its over. Then you look for your phone, just to have it…You want to go to the window, or even open the front door to look out, but you're still a little scared. You have to though, what if there is someone outside in the street dying? So you peak out the window, and you see all your neighbors doing the same thing…some are already outside. Then the cop cars start appearing, so everyone goes to the street and starts talking and chatting. We never talk to each other except for when there is a problem. The whole event lasts for about 15 minutes.

About 2 Thanksgivings ago, this happened while Trang and I were in San Diego. When we got back, we saw the flowers on the street and a little makeshift memorial for someone that was shot and killed in front of our house. That disturbed me, but not enough to make us want to move…It could happen anywhere in my opinion. If this shooting resulted in a death, I think we would definitely be looking to move ASAP.

I'm wondering if this happens a lot? have you ever heard gunshots late at night, right outside your home?

Funny, because our house value is around $850K…Not really funny, but if you think about those shows on HGTV about home prices around the country, "what you get for the money"…for $850K you get 1, maybe 2 shootings a year.

what would you do? would you move, or stay, or go by a gun to protect yourself?
