For similar reasons, I would like to build a house in the form of a 300' tall wizard tower in a random suburban neighborhood. But those bastards down at the planning division won't approve my plans!
There's a tower house out where I used to work. Built in the 70s I think by a Microsoft exec.
Only about 100' tall though I believe.
It apparently is an airbnb now: the "Union Skyhouse".
Dude, you want to get together? I've been planning my wizard tower for years. All I want is a parapet around the top with a telescope out there. The best part is that finding an area with low/no light pollution means there won't be dang pesky jerks that want to keep a certain look to the neighborhood.
Burn all the grass around the tower, and have bands of roving dogs running wild around it.
Socialism is when the planning department won't approve your 300' wizard tower on a quarter acre lot. Save us, von Mises!
