Occupy Oracle!
where's all the unbathed "99%" masses at this icon of conspicuous comsumption?
Nowhere near a large DNC supporter, obviously.
Oracle boss Larry Ellison is set to lose $4m on a Bay Area property in Woodside, south of San Francisco. The Real Estalker reports that Ellison spent $23m in November 2005 to buy two properties a mile away from his main Japanese-style country estate and quite near to Redwood Shores and the Oracle HQ. 1 Turkey Farm Lane 1 …
y'all gotta realize that the"occupy" protest in SF is much smaller and less intrusive than the usual rabble rousing lot. Not nearly as bad as a monthly "Critical Mass" gathering.
SF is simply getting really good at managing these, and the people are getting really good at ignoring them.
But, to paraphrase another poster, you can't swing a dead cat and not hit some big DNC supporter-which is probably why the leadership behind Occupy SF has demanded and is enforcing a much more orderly gathering than the one at Wall Street. Don't want to risk collateral damage to allies.

You'd think with all that property he'd lose money on one or two, the property market is never perfectly stable (fnarr fnarr) at either end of the scale.
It's a bit of a non-story if the rest of his "property portfolio" has collectively appreciated by $50m in the same timeframe.
As others pointed out though, it's a drop in the ocean for ol' Larry even if the whole lot were to go up in uninsured smoke.
Thats at the low end of average for the last 6 years for lost home value on in SF or on the Peninsula. The fact that Woodside is pretty upscale is probably why.
Next week, El Reg writes about what Susan in Oracle Product Marketing lost selling her condo in Belmont!!

What it lacks in grammatical correctness, I hope it makes up for in small-minded bigotry.
Any day now, we shall find out that Larry's parents came from the Ol' country.
(I'm half Irish btw, I'm a Welsh man that can't swim)
Let's all sing now, to the tune of 'Riders On The Storm': Larry's dad was black, Larry's dad was black, He's never coming back, Humped whores outside the back, And emptied his ball sack.
That on reflection is too cruel. It shows the mark of a bitter man. And Larry may be many things, but he is not bitter. Then again, would you be with his fucking cash?
Nurse is coming soon - she fucking better be - I'm nearly all out!
