I BET THERE'S RICH FOLKS SMOKING BIG CIGARS
It was reported today that the Tennessee home where Johnny Cash lived with his wife, June Carter Cash, for 35 years has been sold to Bee Gees singer, Barry Gibb.
"This place will always be the spiritual home for the Cashes," Barry Gibb said in a statement. "My wife, Linda, and I are determined to preserve it, to honor their memory. We fell in love with it; it's an incredible honor for us."
The 13,880-square-foot home sits on a 4.6-acre property in Hendersonville, about 13 miles north of Nashville. Although the final sales price has not yet been disclosed, the initial asking price of $2.9 million was lowered to 2.5 million this fall.

So... for approximately $2.5 million you can go to Tennessee and buy a 13,000 square foot home owned by one of the most renowned country singers of all time, OR you can go to San Francisco and get this for the same price.

I will admit that I love Bernal Heights with a passion, but, falling down love shacks for rich hippies? Ridiculous!

In all fairness, there were some very, very nice homes in SF for that asking price. I just couldn't resist using this picture.

The only saving grace for the SF dump is that, when you step out of Johnny Cash's beautiful home, you're in Tennessee...

There is a house that was owned by Johnny Cash and June Carter (they inherited it from Ma and Pa Carter) in my home town. It was sold for $180,000 in 2002. Icould have bought that. Check it out.

That's located in a terrible, crime-ridden neighborhood to boot.
But it's three parcels that you could develop and resell as a dozen individual units and make a metric buttload of money.
