Mitt Romney needs all those cars because of all those mansions

But wait, mansions in California and Massachusetts? Seems kind of communist. Surely, he has to have a mansion in the heartland, or at least in Michigan, where Romney has a tree fetish:


Nope. He's got a $10 million summer vacation mansion in New Hampshire, were the trees are too tall and too small and too bushy.



Then there's the near-million dollar townhouse the Romneys bought in Belmont, MA order to "downsize" and "simplify" their lives:


There's the $12 million La Jolla, California property, which is totally inadequate at 3,009 square feet. So much so, that the Romneys are razing it and building a 11,000-square-foot mansion in its place.

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.”
