Wow, this is like ERE city, except I don't even have to organize it. What's not to like!

This is a great concept, but I'm betting that land prices in Sonoma County will preclude most EREistas. Still, if the concept is commercially viable, it can be replicated in a more budget-friendly location. I'm going to see if I can get a prospectus for the project.

To me, a Napoleon complex would mean somebody's very short but wants to impress others nonetheless and does so by trying to conquer Russia.
