Jeb Bush, who will soon vacate the governor's mansion in Tallahassee, is moving to The City Beautiful. Bush and wife Columba are renting a ninth-floor condo in Segovia Tower in Coral Gables.

A high-end building, with million-dollar plus apartments and just one unit per floor. Residents: attorney Jim Ferraro, who has two units, including a two-story penthouse; Gables couturier Rene Ruiz and partner Brad Rosenblatt; personal injury lawyer Ralph Patino; and Holland & Knight attorney Marilyn Holifield.

Bush's condo application comes before the Segovia Tower board on Friday, the day he and Columba are set to move in. But Ferraro, a board member, says it's just a formality. ``I don't need to meet with him.''

Rent is $5,500 per month for the 3,949 square foot unit. The condo has three bedrooms, overlooks Granada Golf Course and is walking distance to Miracle Mile. Bush's landlord is Rolando Iglesias, a builder and real estate investor, and wife Hilda.

1. Hmmmmm, why not Miami???? Too third world??

We had to go through Miami to get to the ship leaving for the Bahamas. In the words of the great Bette Davis, "what a dump!" Don't know much about Sen. Tancredo but he sure hit the nail on the head on that one. Jeb is in as much denial as the rest of the family. The first thing you do when entering that area, and you must in order to get to the Port of Miami, is lock the doors. Addicts, and just plainly impoverished people milling about, sleeping in doorways, etc. Very sad. Miami used to be a beautiful city, drugs and uncontrolled immigration won that war.

2. For all intents and purposes....

Coral Gables is Miami.

3. That rent is low and is essentially a bribe

The unit is worth north of a million. This rent payment doesn't cover the mortgage, HOA and taxes. This is a bribe.

4. That's a good use of his "blood" money from the Florida State

5. Apparently Gov. Ehrlich is looking at homes in the 800,000 range.

He'll probably land a job at some big time law firm making $$$$$$ for simply putting his name on the letter head.

6. Governoring is FL must be lucrative

Does this place come with a room for Jeb's mistress?
