Vice President Kamala Harris’ neighbors are divided over the fanfare that accompanies the Democratic nominee when she stays at her Los Angeles area home.
“I will vote for her if she agrees to sell her house,” one neighbor joked to the Wall Street Journal.
Harris and her husband Doug Emhoff have been escaping the Washington, DC, circus for years and venturing to their sprawling California home in the Brentwood neighborhood — but the second couple have been using this residence more and more since Harris has moved to the top of the Democratic ticket.
The posh Brentwood enclave is known for its oceanside views, trendy restaurants and attracting A-listers. Reese Witherspoon, Tom Hanks, Gwyneth Paltrow and LeBron James have all at one point called the neighborhood home. Emhoff reportedly bought the property he shares with Harris for $2.7 million in 2012 — it is now valued at more than $5.3 million.
The Democratic presidential nominee has stopped at the Brentwood home for different fundraising events in recent weeks. A security motorcade and media attention follows her to the typically quiet neighborhood, prompting a range of emotions from locals, the Journal reported.
