Thanks. Tom Friedman’s mansion is huge. Does he run a publishing empire out of it? I know for sure he’ll tell you that it is not just a home...It has office and work space.

Heck he might even be a blacksmith and pressing apple cider there

Here’s a real kneeslapper: Friedman claims that his 11,000 sq. ft. manse saved the property from “being redeveloped into a subdivision of a dozen or more houses.”

Which is of course shameless and brazen BS, since if you look at the aerial photos of the neighborhood you’ll instantly see that there’s no danger of a “subdivision of a dozen or more houses” being built there in the next century or two. The neighborhood simply isn’t zoned for that kind of development.

And by the way I have nothing against $10 million, 11,000 sq. ft. houses in Bethesda or anywhere else.

It’s Friedman’s shameless hypocrisy and preposterous lying that’s notable, just as Hanson says.
