What will happen here? Instead of $ millions being pumped into the economy, the house will decay alongside his owner. Jobs' descendants will build something there when there's nothing left of it.

I'm no millionaire, so lets put this into perspective for everyone here:
1.) I can take your old, deluxe cheeseburger that's been sitting around for quite some time now and rebuild it for $13.30
2.) I can make you a fresh, deluxe cheeseburger for $8.20 (I'll even throw in fries)

Does he want a f'ing Ray Kappe house in its place?

I think he should be able to do what ever he wants to on his property.
On the other hand I was pissed when I learned an Oregon man bought some river front property with the only Frank Lloyd Wright house in the state on it. He was going to tear it down and build a McMansion but someone finally talked him into donating it and moved it to another location.- talked him into donating it? or paid him into donating it?styleplus

do you really care what Jobs does with his house?
I guess not, he'll probably build the slickest most innovative and energy efficient house on it,
look at Bill Gates's its a fortress of technology,
why can't steve have one too- just a big black box with a glowing apple logo on it i guess...janne76

It's is Woodside. What the hell historic ever happened in Woodside?

If Jobs is successful in a review of his request, though, it will bring to an end a municipal fight that has occupied much of the decade: Jobs had originally filed for a permit to demolish the building in 2001 and got the go-ahead in 2004, only to have it contested and rejected three years later.

That would be funny if Gates was behind the Save The Jackling House coalition.

That house is his Dorian Grey painting. He's right though, that house is pretty ugly and plain. He probably the laughing stock of the billionaires.
