If I were in Dak's position not only would I have taken the first swing but I would have invited the entire OL to come take a couple of shots too.
The walls would have beaten them and have Dak running for his life.
Ummm, I don't care how much $ I might have, I could never tear down a perfectly good home to build a different one. I think I would have sold and moved elsewhere. That just doesn't seem smart to me.
Just give it away if nothing else.
Location, location, location.
Hindsight being 20/20, I should have torn down/rebuild when I sold my last house...
Yep. I know exactly where that house is and Prosper has grown tremendously. Would be hard to get your hands on that much land around there today. He probably bought it for +/- $3 million 5 or so years ago. The house was likely a poor to moderately built and or finished McMansion
I know he probably spent a ton on landscaping and security etc. plus he put in a 50 yard turf field that would cost a million dollars to redo on another property. Water/power/septic are all ready to go.
A lot cheaper to tear down an rebuild than try to recreate what he has from scratch and build a house.
Highest paid player in the NFL can afford $1000+/SF finishes and doesn't have to live like us meer mortals at $250/SF.
I hear you brother.. If I ever build a new house it'll be where the one I'm living in now is sitting.
I worked in the Highland Park/University Park area when I first moved here in 2003. There were still builds and rebuilds happening then. I found that the two biggest drivers were that rebuilding kept those kids in the Highland Park school district and it gave rich people the ability to say "I live in Highland Park".
That's kind of my situation here in Waxahachie. My house is really nice, but there were houses comparable. The big difference here was the 2 acre wooded lot within 5 minutes of a Target, grocery stores, restaurants, etc.. With the growth Waxahachie and, really, all of Ellis County has seen, lots like this are extremely rare unless I move all the way out to like Maypearl and/or shell out a million dollars. I love my house, but the land is what will be hard to walk away from when I eventually leave DFW.
Man, I'm convinced money buys nice things...
Prosper school district football stadium
Oh... that one was built in 2019 and they're already asking for another one.
UPDATED: Prosper ISD's New Football Stadium Might Be the Most Expensive Texas High School Stadium Ever
Even though Prosper ISD built an expensive new stadium in 2019, the district is asking voters to approve $94 million for a new one. How much is too much?
