LOL for the love of God. He has to move. Its required, but it is a T intersection and perhaps they would move less if it wasnt. Or you know if the american people decided they wanted their presidents to live there longer.
She responded to my 3/16/08 comment on the White House situated at a “T” intersection.
“Very few owners lived very long in a house at the T intersection. 44 Arcada in Northpark changed 3 owners in 5 years. Even the occupant in 1600 Pensylvannia at the “T” intersection moved every 4 years”
The war of 1812 led by Andrew Jackson our White House was burned and the ground was modified. The site plan had bad feng shui. Most of the presidents after Jackson performed poorly.
During the 1860’s the White House was situated at a “T” intersection without the grass mound blocking the bad “chi” Lincoln was assassinated at the neighboring theatre. Several lack luster presidents after Lincoln were also short lived and died from sickness while in office. Because of bad feng shui Presidents after Lincoln performed poorly and only a few people today actually knew their names.
Frederick Law Olmstead (Landscape architect for Central Park and an advocate for Yosemite National Park) was hired during the 1890’s to redesign the landscape master plan. Although the Parisian style axial planning by Pierre-Charles L’Enfant’s was grand and stately for our White House and Capitol Olmstead recognized the visual vulnerability of the White House positioning and he reshaped the front with grass mound and circular roundabout to create a much better defensible entrance.

Theodore Roosevelt was the president who was the president during that era after the modification and he led our nation into the 20th century with miraculous projects such as the Panama Canal, Preservation of Yosemite, created health regulation and labor and safety law. He put children in schools away from the factories. He also opened door to foreign policy starting with South America. He is being remembered by having a “Teddy” bear named after him.
