Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney (R), who in June told voters that he
was “also unemployed,” has applied for a permit to bulldoze his
3,000-square-foot, $12 million home in La Jolla, California, and
replace it with one nearly four times its size. According to the San
Diego Union-Tribune, the new home will be two stories and more than
11,000 square feet. Romney also owns a $10 million estate in New
Hampshire. His campaign declined to comment on the renovation plans.
Romney told Politico that the existing $12M mansion is “inadequate for
their needs.”
