wow, very interesting. this issue has always boggled my mind.... it still does. why go through such lengths to get these houses done? sadly, the article doesn't answer that... I've always hoped there's more to it than "he has the money, so he'll get his way no matter what". it must've cost a damn lot so far, as well as nerves, and caused a lot of critique on his character. he sure must have a good reason...
It looks beautiful looking at that 3d panorama thing, I suppose 'scenic' doesn't even cover it really. Imagine getting up to that view every morning.
I guess he and Morleigh must have fallen in love with the place and it's potential.
It makes me wonder, with it apparently having taken a bit of a toll on Edge personally and with the bitterness and resentment from locals it would seem, that it might be best to cut your losses and chase a new dream, afterall you wouldn't want to be living right amongst people with that kind of malaise towards you.
I hope it works out either way. Reggie deserves a nice sanctuary somewhere to keep him as creative as possible in the coming years.
I mean, I suppose I understand that after ALL the fighting they've gone through and the money they've put into this, they can't just... drop the whole matter. it cost them millions. on the other hand I wish they'd just... move on. though the article sounds like things are finally moving in edge's favour there at the end. hmm. 
Besides St' Mary's Pro Church and actually pretty pretty close to Talbot Street (where the Raised By Wolves car bomb exploded).
