Poor people not allowed in AOC's luxury apartment complex
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.washingtonexaminer.com/politics/poor-people-not-allowed-in-aocs-luxury-apartment-complex%3f_amp=true But Ocasio-Cortez’s new building — built by leading D.C. developer WC Smith — is part of a luxury complex whose owners specifically do not offer affordable units under Washington, D.C.’s Affordable Dwelling Units program. The Washington Examiner is not naming the building or complex. In 2018, a civil rights attorney sued the Washington, D.C. government for allegedly discriminatory gentrification policies, claiming that development in Navy Yard area and other parts of southeast D.C. encouraged an influx of affluent “millennial creatives” who displaced minority residents. Ocasio-Cortez, commonly referred to as "AOC," repeatedly criticized luxury real estate developers during her campaign, claiming that their buildings hiked up rent prices and pushed low-income residents out of their neighborhoods. |
Link? If this is true, yeah, she's still a "kid". |
Of course she's not a socialist. She's a democratic socialist. Huge difference and anyone who is the least bit educated knows this. |
What specifically is "luxury" about her building, compared to Trump Tower, for example? Are there affordable units and public housing in the neighborhood? |
Her new apartment complex — which boasts on its website that it vows to take "luxury apartment living" to a higher level — offers over 100,000 square feet of amenities for its residents.
These include: two private massage rooms with state-of-the-art hydrotherapy beds; men’s and women’s saunas; a full-scale demonstration kitchen with wood-fired pizza oven; a 25-meter indoor lap pool; a rooftop infinity pool with panoramic views of the Capitol; a Peloton cycling studio with over a dozen bikes; and a fireside lounge featuring a Steinway & Sons player piano. Also included is a PGA-grade golf simulation lounge with a wrap-around screen and viewing bar that allows residents to play virtually at dozens of the world’s most exclusive golf courses with the touch of a button. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.washingtonexaminer.com/politics/poor-people-not-allowed-in-aocs-luxury-apartment-complex%3f_amp=true Her apartment building is not posh? Really? |
You mean like a place with a gate, or a wall? Hmm. Go figure. |
Of course Trump Tower has no affordable units and is luxury for the Uber wealthy, but Trump not any Republicans have sold themselves as socialists. Huge glaring detail you are missing. |
Walls, fences, and gates are racist and bigoted. Just because AOC lives with the security she would deny America and you pointed it out,you must be racist and bigoted as well. |

As someone noted upthread, new buildings have all kinds of rent incentives. I've moved into new buildings, not for the amenities but because of the cheap(er) rent. |
This is such fake news! She’s going big game hunting with Eric and Jr, not vacationing with Ivanka. |
I knew leftists would use this as an excuse |
Kagan hunted with Scalia, so anything can happen. |
Not everyone is placing 100% blame on Amazon. lol - https://www.jobcreatorsnetwork.com/amazon-pulls-out-of-nyc-thanks-for-nothing-aoc/

So you have rented apartments in DC with the amenities available at AOC’s building? Specifically yes or no? Her building has details listed of said amenities and they seem more posh than most. |
