CHATTER AWAY: Overnight Open Thread

The Hollywood Reporter reports:

The “Amazon Room.” According to Mauricio Umansky, CEO and founder of The Agency, that’s the latest amenity some high-end Hollywood homebuyers are seeking when shopping for a new estate. In a COVID-19 world, buyers are looking for a room to store the many packages that arrive, and also a spot for them to decontaminate before opening.

Umansky also has noticed an increased interest in practical and entertainment amenities. “The home office is becoming very important,” he says. “If there’s an ability to have two home offices, that’s becoming very important,” he says, and notes, “People are really looking for the home gym, the home theater.”

I don’t have an LA mansion, but my “Amazon Room” is also known as my “garage” or as we call it, the “decontamination area.”https://t.co/n4feaQWI4s
