Sycamore |
| Sycamore … is open. |
| (…aim…fire! BANG) |
| That’s how Sycamore opened. |
| That’s how… Sycamore is. |
| (guns.) |
| I say this somewhat quietly and without fanfare, because … |
| (HOW ARE YOU VOTING ON THE GUN INITIATIVE?) |
| Well … |
| (i'm against it.) |
| Because … people who like their living green and private don’t |
| usually appreciate a lot of fluttering flags and cartwheeling clowns. |
| (THERE ARE 17 MILLION ADULTS IN CALIFORNIA, AND AN ESTIMATED 4 |
| MILLION |
| HANDGUNS.) |
| (but |
| that’s not fair!) |
| (WHEN NO MORE CAN BE SOLD, YOU CAN SEE THAT THE MAJORITY OF |
| ADULTS |
| WILL BE VIRTUALLY PROHIBITED FROM EVER OWNING ONE.) |
| When this vacation land is sold out … |
| (THAT'S RIGHT!) |
| (DID YOU KNOW IT GIVES SOME PEOPLE A SPECIAL PROPERTY |
| RIGHT?) |
| (you mean, my neighbor can have something legally that i can’t.) |
| So if you’ve always admired parts of Piedmont, or Orinda… |
| (WELL, YOU COULD BUY ONE, IF YOU CAN CONVINCE SOMEONE TO SELL |
| YOU HIS, |
| AND IF YOU’RE WILLING TO PAY HIS PRICE.) |
| and regret you didn’t buy there ten or fifteen years ago, |
| Sycamore should have considerable appeal. |
| (THAT'S RIGHT!) |
| It is a custom community of personalized… |
| (guns.) |
| for the private pleasure of a limited number of families. |
| (IT ALLOWS PEOPLE WHO ALRE |
| ADY OWN HANDGUNS TO KEEP THEM.) |
| After all, you aren’t going to find a finished big blue mountain |
| lake in California that isn’t full of boats and people, (guns.) |
| and surrounded by cars. |
| This opening is just the beginning… |
| of something people will want a Sunday drive through, for the next |
| couple of hundred years. |
