There are plenty of people who avoid the number 666. There’s even a phobia associated with it: hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia. Seriously. (Fear of the number 13 is triskaidekaphobia, and fear of numbers in general is arithmophobia.). Bruxton ( talk) 18:22, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
Fear of 666, also known as hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia, has even gripped the rich and famous. When Ronald and Nancy Reagan retired to Bel-Air, Calif., in 1989, they bought the house at 666 St. Cloud Road--and changed it to 668.[1] :3 F4U ( they /it) 18:26, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
"In fact there is a name for this fear of the number 666: hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia ... This fear is indeed prevalent in our Revelation-infused Western society. Consider these hexakosioihexekontahexaphobic cases. In 1988 Ronald and Nancy Reagan left the White House and purchased a $2.5 million ranch house in the Bel-Air neighbourhood of Los Angeles whose address was 666 St. Cloud Road. Before moving in they had the address changed in city records to 668 on account of a mutual concern that it could be interpreted as a sign of association with Satan"[2].

This article uses past tense, and indeed a quick look at Google Maps reveals that no structure currently occupies the property. Is anyone able to provide information on when or why the site was razed? 97.102.30.205 ( talk) 17:17, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
