15. The lot she bought was actually 60 feet wide
Edited on Mon Mar-03-08 02:40 PM by rox63
And that's large enough to build on in the city. Obama just bought a 10-foot wide strip of her lot in order to expand his back yard. The original seller would not sell the house unless the lot next door also got sold in the same deal. Obama didn't want the whole property, just the house with a decent-size yard.
