ROMNEY TO QUADRUPLE SIZE OF $12 MILLION CALIFORNIA HOME

Former 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.

UPDATE

Romney tells Politico that the existing $12M mansion is “inadequate for their needs.”
