Why did Mrs Rezcko buy the side yard to Obama's 2 million dollar mansion?

[Peregrine Took]

It cost $600,000.00.

Why would anyone do this?

[Medusa]

1. Perhaps you should ask Mrs. Rezcko

And 600K for a lot seems reasonable to me in a neighb with 2M houses

2. What's up with the yellow X's?

[Maine-ah]

4. a ton of people on DU at the moment.

3. She wanted a bigger flower garden? She needed a place to park her car?

The possibilities are endless!

5. She believed in "hope and change"

7. "If a turtle is on top a fencepost, it didn't get there by accident"

9. Land next to a US Senator and rising star in national politics?

It was a very good investment. It's empty property in a desirable neighborhood. And Obama lives next door. That land is worth more than twice what Rezko paid for it.

10. It wasn't a yard, it was a plot of land... and Rezko was planning on developing the land

so the purchase was in his own interest.
