22. A detail that doesn't change the point of your post

The Robertson house is adjacent to the Romney place. From the street it might be 5 doors away, but in the back there is a common property line. It's a very weird set up. (Google 325 Dunemere La Jolla and see the birds eye view if you're interested)

When Cliff sold it in 2005, he sold it for $14.5 million and it's sold at least once since then. I think last I heard it was sold for $20+million. I got to stay in the house a couple of times with a friend who was a relative of CR. It is a fabulous place. Now it's owned by a Walter(?) Miller who is a buddy of Romneys, and it makes me sick to think of those people living in that house. Is my bias showing??



edit: I see from your later post that you know the area.

Not surprising. Even Freddie Mac's Home Value Explorer chokes on that parcel. slackmaster Aug 2012 #12

Property taxes for parcels in La Jolla are paid to the San Diego County Assessor and Recorder slackmaster Aug 2012 #3
That's every taxpayer in San Diego and the city is in trouble. WHEN CRABS ROAR Aug 2012 #9
Property taxes are paid to the county, not the city. slackmaster Aug 2012 #13
You are correct on both counts. WHEN CRABS ROAR Aug 2012 #15
