Gavin Newsom sells Bay Area home ahead of recall election (Cha Ching!)
The Real Deal ^ | 8-18-2021 | TRD Staff

Gov. Gavin Newsom, facing a recall election, is selling his personal home outside San Francisco for almost $6 million.

Newsom sold his 4,000 square-foot home in May, according to the New York Post.

The house is located at 11 Rock Road in Kentfield, about 40 miles north of San Francisco. It initially hit the market in January 2019 after Newsom took office and moved to Sacramento. It was taken off the market until it was purchased in May for more than the asking price of $5.7 million.

The governor and his wife bought the home in 2011 for $2.2 million, the Post reported. With the help of architect Julie Dowling, Newsom put at least $330,000 into remodeling the house by adding glass walls and more open living spaces.

He must be pretty sure he’s going to lose.

No worries as he will be moving to Austin TX where all the other Calipornians have fled to and caused skyrocketing housing prices.
They’ve done the same here in Raleigh and all along the shore.

I think it’s odd he bought this house in Marin County in the first place. He was mayor of San Francisco. Didn’t he love his city enough to stay there? It sounds like he bought this house and move out, as soon as his term as mayor was over.

Not sure why any of us here are the least bit surprised. These low-life POS politicians always seem to land on their feet, no matter what.

*SPIT*

e house is located at 11 Rock Road in Kentfield, about 40 miles north of San Francisco.

I really do not like lazy reporting. It's less than 20 miles to Kentfield from downtown SF.

The house may be worth more when he’s out as governor.

I don’t necessarily think this is related to his potential loss.

As a “Rich Person”, someone who earned more than $1,000,000 in a year, i.e. 2021 Gruesome is avoiding White House Occupant’s and Auntie Nanzi’s additional 22.4% capital gains tax rate imposed by the FAKE $3.5 trillion stimulus plan. Biden has said this new rate which hasn’t passed yet will be retroactive to all of 2021. If passed most experts think it won’t become effective until 2022. If so, this maneuver will save our failed governor approximately $800,000 in Federal taxes by selling it now and not waiting until 2022.

If you were Gavin Newsom would you want to stay in the state after the recall.
A lot of angry people will never forgive him he may have to crib at aunt Nancy’s for a bit.
