72,000-Square-Foot Home

David Duffield, of PeopleSoft fame, is smashing an 8,000-square-foot house in order to build a 72,000-square-foot house. His neighbors, however, are not pleased.

The project already is facing intense opposition from the neighbors who would have to live in the shadow of the proposed three-story home in Alamo, Calif. — a tony suburb about 30 miles east of San Francisco.
Alamo resident Bruce Smith, whose family previously owned the 8,000-square-foot home that Duffield hopes to demolish to make room for his new house, said the land was never intended for a residence that will dwarf the 60,645-square-foot Hearst Castle and the 55,000-square-foot White House.
“I really don’t have a problem with a man pursuing his dreams, but this is just too much,” Smith said in an interview Wednesday.
