Soon after the sale was completed, contractors began work on tens of thousands of dollars of improvements on the two-bedroom, one-bathroom home, which looks out onto a patch of orange trees. The renovations included a carport, a repaired roof and a new fence and gates, according to city permit records and blueprints.
- jfengel 3y agoHey, that's pretty good. The Bee is generally very bad at satire. It would have been better without the word "Another", which is over-selling the joke. They succumbed to the need to lash out at the entire group rather than tightening the joke. The gag is already on tenuous grounds since obviously this isn't "purchasing", but it's at least a real thing rather than their usual fashion for just inventing stuff out of whole cloth.
