(11,589 posts)(snip)
At one point, the residence was two properties. In 2001, the property was converted into one with eight bedrooms and 13 bathrooms across approximately 15,000 square feet of space and over an acre of land. Other notable features inside include a library, two kitchens, an elevator, and a pool cabana suite.

(2,574 posts)when a house has more bathrooms than bedrooms ( in this case way more). In Conway's case, though, given how full of shit she is, it sort of makes sense.

(77 posts)I think it's a good policy to have an extra bathroom for having guests over or if you don't want to pee in the same bathroom as someone showering.
Is that weird? I have OCD so I can't always tell.
tomg
(2,574 posts)An extra one is useful. I know, we raised four kids. And someone mentioned entertaining 50 to 100 people. Again, a solid point, and if they are all members of Trump's inner circle, then she might need even more. Still, 13 bathrooms to 8 bedroom seem, if you will pardon the expression, a shitload.
demigoddess
(6,644 posts)etc. big homes or you could have separate bathrooms for each and every room in the house.
mrripley43
(8 posts)With an acre of land out there, why would you need that many bathrooms?
qwlauren35
(6,150 posts)You may not need so many bedrooms if you don't have a lot of houseguests, but if you have parties with 50-100 people or more, a lot of bathrooms makes sense.

(1,074 posts)And, don't even get me started on how much it's costing taxpayers to house Melania and Barron in NYC!! What about all the other 10 year olds in this country (the regular people class) that don't want to move and switch schools in the middle of the year, but because their parents got a new job, have to make the move! How come Barron gets the luxury of finishing out his school year on the taxpayer's dime??! If tRUMP doesn't want Barron to leave school mid-year, then fine....but let tRUMP foot the bill!!!

(45,806 posts)DC. Not while she has more luxury and privacy in NYC than she could hope for in DC, School's out now so we'll see if I'm right. I think we'll just hear some new excuses why she can't leave. I doubt they'll admit she's much happier WITHOUT the Con!

(9,090 posts)every rw radio blowhard in the country has been repeating limmbaugh that obama stayed in DC so he could run a 'deep state' shadow govt with moles and leakers to destroy trump.
now they have an address to give out to the nuts.
which is why the obamas have to pay so much for a house - so their security detail can do their job etc
which is why it is so fucking stupid for liberals to whine about obama making money after leaving office.

(480 posts)I believe you arranged to have little Wasilla build a very large and expensive recreation center for its tiny population and the same contractor built you a house on a lake at the same time. Some say with materials intended for the recreation center ended up in your house. That's one way to keep costs down.

(2,396 posts)I just deleted an email from my 80-something RW Fox-addled mother saying that she thought the Obamas were going away and where did they get the money.
Previously she was happy that billionaires are filling up the Cabinet since "they can't be bought ".
Funny how her pro-Trump emails have dried up for months.

That's an interesting perspective.

(2,396 posts)She probably heard this sentiment on Fox.
ETA: we live in Oregon.
BumRushDaShow
(129,471 posts)before she passed. Same generation. The "they can't be bought" resonated with me as something that the "Great Depression generation" (aka "silent generation" might say. Don't think that is a Faux Snooze thing per se. Our parents' generation grew up with a 1%er - FDR - in office for just over 12 years.
I think the difference from our perspective today is whether wealthy people put in positions of power like that, who have not one charitable bone in their body, is somehow a "good" thing, and we know the current occupants are greedy as hell.

(6,787 posts)President Obama has written at least one best-selling book. That tends to grow one's financial capacity a bit.
Good grief. And the Republicans actually nominated her for Veep!

(32,093 posts)His and Michelle's memoirs will almost certainly become best-sellers, as well. Which is why they got such big advances on them. I doubt we be ever be seeing copies of them at the Dollar Tree, like I do her book.

(369 posts)Ollies, a odd lot reseller in Central PA was selling one of her books for 50cents each. I bought about 20 of the them and put them in porta-potties as TP during festivals. Very popular, but a little rough on one's butt.
