Hasta La Ideas

Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney is selling his ski villa in Utah and a home in Massachusetts. He’s downsizing from four properties to two. (The Utah home is pictured at right.)

The reason for this downsizing? From a Salt Lake Tribune article: 

“The Romney children are all grown up with families of their own, and Mitt and [his wife] Ann have more space than they need,” spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom said Monday. “So they are simplifying and downsizing.” 

By cutting his property portfolio in half, former Governor Romney has indeed downsized. Holding on to two large properties on each coast of the United States could hardly be considered simple living, though. But it’s a first step.
