[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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.

[b]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.[/b][/quote]

It was built almost 100 years ago. If it were new development SFH perhaps there would be some sort of irony here, but century-old housing stock is not really part of the problem that her campaign platform highlights.[/quote]
