Far-left DC mayoral candidate Janeese Lewis George, who’s been begging for an endorsement from NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani, bought a million-dollar home in April after suggesting single-family zoning was a tool of “segregation,” The Post has learned.

The District Councilmember and her husband, Kyle George, purchased the lavish single-family dwelling in the capital’s Manor Park neighborhood, about five miles north of the White House, for $1.19 million April 17, according to DC Office of Tax and Revenue records.

I sincerely doubt it's "lavish" for 1.1m near the White House. This isn't Kansas.

NP. Does it matter how nice it is if she is railing against people having single family homes?

Oh lord this is as dumb as the "Kenyan's kids go to GDS" line of attack.

Manor Park doesn't have lavish homes, and 1.19M is pretty reasonable for DC in 2026.

You could point out the hypocrisy of her railing against SFH and yet preferring to live in one without all the "socialist" and [not really] near the White House nonsense.

The trolls are trying another attack eh? You all must be shook from the bump Janeese is getting from Trump lashing out at her but not McDuffie.

That and people like her better by double digits.

+1, also Manor Park isn't really "near" the White House. Only someone who doesn't understand DC geography would think that. A SFH actually near the White House would cost a lot more than this one, Manor Park is a nice but not wealthy neighborhood.

Uh Manor Park is so not fancy

Did they sell their old home? Are two SFH homes enough for two people?

I just love the hypocrisy on the left - and watching liberals defend it, over and over.

"X miles from the White House" is such a tell that either the author or the audience is not from DC.

Looks pretty nice to me. Regardless, this isn't about how "lavish" the house is. She is a complete hypocrite yet no one on the left is willing to admit it.



The price tag for George’s pad was nearly double the average home value in the District of Columbia, according to the real estate online search platform Redfin, and almost $500,000 more than the average price for a home in that zip code.

Just 15 days before her home purchase, George had published an op-ed decrying “how exclusionary zoning preserves segregation and exacerbates displacement” and blaming “politically-connected wealthy residents” for being opposed to new housing construction.

The Tudor-style home was built in 1935 and spans 3,122 square feet across three levels. It boasts four bedrooms, five bathrooms, a chef’s kitchen including a waterfall island, vaulted ceilings in the primary suite, a finished basement — and a luxe sauna, per a real estate listing.

Sweeping renovations in 2023 transformed the brick exterior and gave the home its striking black-and-white Tudor-meets-contemporary look.

The home is also situated in a residential zone of the city that “[d]iscourages multi-household development,” something George has railed against as part of her campaign.
