Very interesting! Nice to know where people lived before they were famous. Always nice to look at houses like this.

Why am I not surprised that Obama lived on the upper west side?

I wonder why the most powerful man on earth allowed his former crib to go for rent. Quite interesting to know the preferences of such famous people when it comes to real estate.

what is wrong with this picture?He could possibly be the next President of the USA and there was not a society for the prevention to preserve what could be a historical landmark,and bring in revenue to the city of his childhood,thank God for the people who saved Greenwich Villiage from Robert Moses and another highway;

Oh my goodness. Mitt Romney’s former home was worth 337k and it was torn down. I guess since it was built in 1918, it needed it, but it’s too bad they couldn’t restore it.
