HERE IS HIS FENCE!
Looks like Two Americas right there in Edwards' neighborhood.Edwards views Johnson as a "rabid, rabid Republican" who refuses to clean up his "slummy" property just to spite her family, whose lavish 28,000-square-foot estate is nearby on 102 wooded acres.
Johnson, 55, acknowledges his Republican roots. But he takes offense to the suggestion he has purposefully left his property, including an old garage that he leases for use as a car shop, in dilapidated condition.
Johnson said he has lived his entire life on the property, which he said his family purchased before the Great Depression. He said he's spent a lot of money to try and fix up the 42-acre tract.
"I have to budget. I have to leave within my means," Johnson said. "I don't have millions of dollars to fix the place."
Johnson, who has posted a "Go Rudy Giuliani 2008" sign on a fence just 100 feet from the entrance to the Edwards' driveway, has criticized Edwards for the scale of their nearby home. The property and home, which includes an indoor basketball court, an indoor handball court and an indoor pool, is valued at $5.3 million.
"I thought he was supposed to be for the poor people," Johnson said. "But does he ever socialize with any poor people? He doesn't speak to me."
Increasing property taxes leaves less money for home improvements...but don’t tell the Dems that since they prefer the socialism/communism method of ‘taking away your wealth for the common good’ (except their wealth)... the communist elites live like kings while the common people suffer...e.g. Kim Il Jong, Castro, Chavez, Edwards...etc...
I am sure all the poor kids in the neighborhood are more than welcome to come over anytime and make use of the Indoor B-ball court and the handball court,and the pool.
Seriously though, Why would anyone want an indoor B-ball court in a home? Its not like a person can play B-ball by themselves. Most of us would settle for a basket to shoot at.
