Basically, Jobs hates the house because he moved there right before he was kicked out of Apple and stayed there in what is posssibly the "darkest" time of his life (pre-NeXT and Pixar, and Apple part 2)
EDIT: I'm not "speculating" -- this is direct from the book: "The Pixar Touch", unfortunately, there's no source online.
- mahmud 17y agoNow that we're speculating psychology against the wisdom of Occam. From the article: The house was built by California architect George Washington Smith in 1926 for mining magnate Daniel C. Jackling. I speculate that Jobs is sending a message to a former leading California industry with this self-coronation, that a new industry reigns supreme in California and he is its chief baron. Not only that, but I think that Jobs doesn't see the world-wide success of AAPL as anything more than a fortunate byproduct of his initial goal: to be coolest kid in Cupertino.

- jonknee 17y agoWell and it's a piece of shit. Steve Jobs loves creating things to his exact specifications, I see no reason why he wouldn't want to do this with his house.
- aditya 17y agoBut he didn't build this house, not sure what you mean?
- menloparkbum 17y agohe wants to knock down the old derelict house and build a new one.
- jonknee 17y agoHence his years long struggle to tear it down and build his dream house.
