With SAC gone mostly to cash and no idiotic traders to berate 15 hours a day, our favorite Steve has had to find other environments to dominate, other minions to tower over (around) and belittle. The Greenwich Planning and Zoning Commission might seem like a small pond for a big fish like Cohen, but a quick look at their website with the agenda for yesterday’s meeting, betrays a den of Byzantine political maneuvering of the sort not seen since Elizabeth II’s court was the front line of Catholic-Protestant bloodletting.
And thank god for Andrew Ross Sorkin’s DealBook, which kindly provides a electronic copy of the heretical plot final Zoning Commission agenda.

The square footage of a man’s house is inversely proportionate to the size of his…uh….well, you know…
Elizabeth II? That an Irish joke, or just sloppy?
Are those several flailing arm inflatable wild crazy armed thingies in his front yard?
Check out the house on G Maps — I can’t tell which section of the house is actually posted above.
That picture only shows about 1/6th of the entire house.
And WTF is that statue in the front yard?

Clearly, the period was selected for its distinct lack of real political drama, that having been poorly replaced with internal divorce tittering, infidelity and royal children custody battles. Much like trading down from dominating world markets to instead mount a coup with an authority even more powerless to impact world affairs (any planning body in Greenwich, for instance).
Great. Make yourself an even bigger target for the villagers with torches and pitchforks.
Yeah, there was never any drama on Falls Road.
what the heck is in his front yard?
These little fiefdoms wield a lot of power, similar to some Manhattan co op boards. House looks fine the way it is.
BTW, CNBC aired some “interaction” between the committee and Neal Kashkari. This is amazing stuff, how did you guys miss it?
8 Its art. You obviously have no taste.
Did anyone see the Dems beat up on Kashkari? What big men they are! They are too scared to face up to Paulson so they beat up on a poor grunt.
Look how manly Kucinich finally looks!
Is that a Par 3 next to the house ?
I love you, EP. But its friday, can you dumb it down a little? I didn’t take Classics in college
Why so much talk about Pandit and Citi on CNBC today. I mean it’s Friday they should lighten up.
i will get some pictures this weekend of stevie’s taj mahal
Arguably, even the present Queen Liz is really only numba I, since that redheaded hermaphrodite was only the queen of England and Wales…
much better view:

@17
OMG! Little guy has a huge place!
you suck dealbreaker for not giving us the kashkari transcript or discussion…he got railed
i am glad he has as much kids crap in his yard as we do.
geezus. that aerial shot is something else. his neighbor’s houses are like outhouses in comparison. and to think that when he built it he told his neighbors that they were anti semites for objecting…
@ Anal_yst
Those things in the front yard are whacky, waving, inflatable, arm-flailing tube men.
You can buy them on Route 2 in Weekapaug, ask for Al Harrington.

Is that Steve’s red, yellow & blue underwear in front of the house, hanging in the trees?
Does anybody know? EP?

Alan Schwartz’s pile is just around the corner.
Cramer says buy exon mobile and United tech and they go up. What power.
So what exactly do you do with 35,000 sq-ft? Seem to me like anything over 25,000 sq-ft is just silly.
I want that house. How much?
There are probably covenants which follow the deed that are very shall we say “white bread only” kind of clauses. Obviously they are now ignored but, certain areas followed these clauses as though they were written in stone for as long as they could.
Been trying to find the CNBC clip of Kashkari’s reaction. His eyes are the most expressive i’ve ever seen. He can’t lie to his wife.
#29. Wait a year. If the RE pundits are correct everything should go down another 20% and you can get serious then. Or you can just build a new one for yourself and it won’t have all the problems that an older home brings. Nowadays character (molding, etc) come in plastic and can easily be designed to make your new house look old.
pretty sweet pad – esp the koons in the driveway. nice touch stevie.
HAM you surprise me sometimes. So cultured. Most of the cretins here wouldn’t know a Koons from a baloon. GAnalYst
I want that house. How do I blow up SAC?
The only coon I know is one with a black face.

@35, WTF would you do with it?
@4 – Wow. The portion in the photo is the main part of the house – you can see the driveway courtyard on one side and a grassy area with steps leading down to the golf hole on the other. The rest of the house doesn’t appear to have chimneys either. Anyway, what is that on the north side, an indoor pool or a hockey rink?
Ice rink. Yes, he owns a Zamboni.
Wow. That house gives me a Zamboner.
Funny. A jew with an ice rink is like a brother with a lap pool.

@#35…
You must not have much experience with houses. A place like Steve’s has very high associated maintenance/operating costs as well as very high RE taxes and insurance. Those costs alone would probably deliver a knockout punch to you. A full-time groundskeeper and several other staff would obviously be required, and paying for them would put you under in a hurry.
There are a lot of other houses around, much smaller than Steve’s, but similar in apperance, and much more affordable. One of them would do just fine.

the house it grotesque, just get a CC membership fuck.

Stevie is building a new wing for a bigger bathroom for his fat a$$
@3, 8, 23 – Those are the hats on the two idiot brothers that run the motley fool website.
I think you meant Elizabeth I.
Elizabeth II is the reigning monarch, and I don’t think her court involves a lot of theological/ecclesiastical bickering.
But hey, I could be wrong. Or your sense of humor might be too subtle for me.
