Maybe, but I doubt that the folks who tear down existing properties in order to build huge homes do so out of a sense of modesty: the former Bahre property comes to mind.

As for your implication that I am envious: no, that dog won't hunt: you know nothing of my financial circumstances.

I suppose it just seems silly to me to build huge estates with many rooms which are rarely if ever used: what is the point?
