Oprah rents house in Cherry Creek
With the DNC only weeks away, many Denver Downtown residents are cashing in by renting out their homes. Recently the local media http://cbs4denver.com/local/denver.home.rentals.2.790856.html reported that Denver residents are renting their condos and homes to people willing to pay top dollar for housing near the Pepsi Center. From reporters, celebrities, lobbyists (really I didn’t think the Democrats allowed lobbyists in their group!) to other political power-players are renting lofts and condos starting from $750 to $1,000 per night.
The Rocky Mountain News http://www.rockymountainnews.com/news/2008/aug/07/oprah-rents-digs-for-week-of-dnc/ recently reported that Oprah Winfrey has rented a home in the most up-scale neighborhood of Cherry Creek. She is paying $50,000 per week for this home. Must be nice.
Also rumor has it that Barack Obama will be staying at a home miles away from downtown Denver in the Cherry Hills neighborhood. This estate home will have all the luxuries fit for the Chosen One.
So where will Bill and Hillary Clinton stay or Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid? Haven’t heard yet, but I’ll keep you posted. You don’t think they would stay in downtown Denver at one of the many exquisite hotels. I’m sure they will be staying at a rented home in the up-scale areas of the Denver Metropolitan area.
But what about conserving gas and being green for these folks? If you leave the downtown Denver area, you need a car to get back into town. Or maybe RTD will accommodate them – it’s a joke folks. Can you imagine these people taking the bus to the Pepsi Center?
Oh the opulence of the DNC! I thought the Democrats were the people’s party. I guess they want to throw a big party and really don’t care how much it costs. Are they using taxpayer’s money or their own money? Something to think about.
Until later,
Linda
