How many were actually built?

Weren’t they all going to be “green” energy homes, as well?

They are there, I worked in a few. That area didn't really become a hot retail area though.

The wood was shitty and started falling apart from the humidity.

He’s actually one of the guys in Hollywood that I wouldn’t mind grabbing a beer with and talking sports or something.

Seems like a non psycho, doesn’t say super lefty weird shite. Just seems like he plays the game to get roles but is probably still a southern guy at heart.

That's because they didn't use pressure treated wood.

They should have painted those rafters holding the solar panels pink.

They're falling apart because they were built with cheap arse materials..

Is this true? Or are they falling apart because of maintenance?

Weren’t they given away for free?

I doubt this is on Pitt. He pledged some money and someone did a shitty job

I did the floors for the very first one, I went by there the other day and it seemed to be holding up well.
