In our climate, we should never have roofs sloping to the middle like that, even with a proper ice & water shield installed in the valley it will leak eventually.

Why aren’t there Mazdas in the showroom? Global supply shortage?

That's obviously a Mercedes Dealership, c'mon now.

I think that mansion looks awesome! Come on, every major city has to have a couple over the top mansions. I have no problem with Crescent heights being a street full of large single family homes. I just wish they would make a beautiful stone promenade along the entire stretch that everyone can enjoy.

There are stability issues with the slope moving, that's why they haven't paved the pathways there.

That’s exactly the problem though, those same ultrarich mansion owners are the ones who blocked the construction of a true promenade because they were worried it would be too busy. Honestly f*ck that. It should be busy. It’s one of the most beautiful urban viewpoints in the province, if not thee most, and should be marketed as a tourist destination.

So what you're saying is that erosion will one day suck this mansion over the cliff? Best news I've heard all day.
