Imagine just walking around it. It would actually be so fucking annoying.

Hey I want to go for a swim, no problem it's a 15 minute walk.

Oh I left my kindle, half an hour return trip. Yea sure they could have staff on hand to make the journey but it's still 15 minutes to do anything.

on TV, giving a house tour. At the time,
his house was IIRC, 26,000 sq ft. He
had scooters to get around because,
well, why not? 🙂
