Mitt Romney sells $23.5M home after years of backlash from neighbors
[NYPOST] The notorious San Diego home of Willard Mitt Romney, aka Pierre Delecto
...former governor of Massachussetts, the Publican nominee for president in 2012, now Senator from Utah. He is the son of the former governor of Michigan, George Romney, who himself ran for president after saving American Motors from failure, though not permanently. Romney has a record as a successful businessman, heading Bain Capital, and he rescued the 2002 Winter Olympics from the midst of bribery and mismanagement scandals. He is currently a trans Republican and a member in good standing of the Never Trump Party, attempting to assume the mantle of the late John McCain...
, which made headlines in 2012 for having planned an installation of a car elevator, is now in escrow for $23.5 million.

The move comes after years of enduring backlash from neighbors for tearing down and demolishing the initial oceanfront structure and building a new, bigger home.
This hasn't been in the San Diego news since he bought it.
Anthony Ciani, a La Jolla, Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,, architect and former neighbor of Romney at the time, told The Post that his issue was mostly concerning public use of the beach.
and legally prolly blocked his view. I'm no Romney fan, but rich people bitching at each other makes me wish a pox on both their houses
"Not all of the neighbors had issues with the Romneys’ project," Ciani said, "but others, including me, disputed their claim to own the sandy beach west of the historic property line which could interfere with the historical public use of the beach, and because that uses that additional area of land to build a larger house than would otherwise comply with the development regulations."
And also he is an icky Republican, even if he loudly proclaims his hate for everything Trump.

#1 Unfortunate that they don't mention his Lake Winnipesaukee place in NH. I'm going up there next weekend to hang with college / fraternity brothers; I would think nothing of launching fireworks over his place and then bugging out like I stole a car.

#2 Chandler E. Potter, in his 1856 history of Manchester, translates the name as meaning "Beautiful Water in a High Place". He explains that Winnepesaukee is derived from "Winne" (beautiful), "Nipe" (water), "Kees" (high), and "Auke" (a place), meaning literally, "the beautiful water of the high place".
