Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez moves into a luxury apartment complex

Many here think her attractiveness makes her a special target by the MSM and republican men want to “hate f” her.

I don’t know what term is more offensive than “hate f,” and it’s a disgusting phrase.

However, she is probably using the female only sauna ( isn’t that quite bigoted?) and using the wood fired pizza oven after a rousing Peloton class (over a dozen bikes alone in her amenities complex.)

No barn at all.

Her apartment building is not posh? Really?

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.

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.

Yes, but Navy Yard is not a particularly posh place, so even if the building is new, it's not like she's living right on the Hiil or in Georgetown so her rent will be lower. And yes, newer buildings with more vacancies often have very good rent incentives (we got 3 months rent free in an expensive building so our annual rent was affordable even though our "sticker price" rent was high.

Ok understood but did your building have her amenities? Her specific building?

Your building had these amenities? Many posters here are claiming they lived like AOC but won’t answer this specific question, so I suspect the answer is no.

PP here. No. Does that mean something?

I wouldn't pick Navy Yard, but I don't work at the Congress building. Would you?

So you admit her building is better than most in Navy Yard? Or are we stil pretending that’s not true.

And there are less posh buildings in Navy Yard that are close to her work but don’t have a Peloton studio on premises?

My head doesn’t have Whole Foods (where she shops despite running amazon out of NYC) or outdoor yoga classes.

Too bad for you. Maybe focus on living your own life instead of hating on others.

I thought progressives were all about everyone having the same simple life and taking money from the wealthy and redistribution to the poor?

Dcum rails against any rich republican constantly...but suddenly it’s time to live your best life when AOC is shopping at Whole Foods.

See? That’s American Socialism. All fluff. No substance.

Her rent is average for DC.

Exactly. Navy Yard isn’t fancy and that building isn’t truly “posh” by DC standards. All these out of town posters comparing the cost of living in DC to the Midwest or the South where prices for apartments are a fraction of DC rates. IF you want hypocrisy, how about Trump complaining about “the swamp” while making millions off of Trump hotel in DC and having taxpayers pay millions for his regular trips to Mar a Lago.

Also so sick of the pettiness against AOC, and I’m not even that big of a fan. If she were a white guy, Fox and these morons wouldn’t have anything to say.

“What it doesn't offer is affordable housing - a platform the self-described socialist campaigned on in her bid to become the youngest female member of Congress.“

But she won’t live in a place with “affordable housing units.” Code for poor people. She will campaign on their backs, and claim she’s for them, but once she has the ability, she won’t live near them.

It’s hypocritical to do this.

How do you know she "won’t live in a place" with affordable housing? She would not be eligible for affordable housing herself and there might not be a building that meets her needs that has non-affordable housing units available. Do you have any evidence that she had an opportunity to live in a building with affordable housing and declined?

Don’t know any of that but neither do you. She’s the force and face of socialism and helping the poor and downtrodden, and you’d think she’d maintain her values by living the way she wants all Americans to live.

It’s actually quite stunningly she abandoned her mantra the first time she’s in DC. I expected her to be an elected official that sleeps in their office to save money like many of them do.

Or maybe she should be like whoever-it-was from the Trump admin who "rented" a room from DC connections and then turned out to be a bad tenant and would not leave when he was told to. Surely George Soros has a rich buddy who can do her a favor.

Am biracial Mija.

Also she can live in a hot air ballon mansion with a wave pool she sky dives into and is filled with champagne for all I care. I support Trump and he’s the king of gold leaf apartments and golden elevators and golden hair. So no, that stuff is fine.

“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.

We need to kick luxury real estate lobbyists to the curb and defend working people’s way of life,” Ocasio-Cortez said last March. “Skyrocketing cost of living is a national crisis that CAN be addressed. It’s not just an NYC issue - it’s happening in every US metro area.”

Ocasio-Cortez also promised not to take campaign contributions from luxury developers during her campaign. “It’s time we stand up to the luxury developer lobby,” she said in a speech last April. “Every official is too scared to do it - except me.””

But she’s actually joined them and is not fighting them, based on her housing choice.

And here you go with identify politics. So you HONESTLY think that many are questioning her success as a LATINA?

I define success as leading the people by walking the walk. She can talk the talk; that's about it.

Who cares whether she's Hispanic or white or Asian or whatever? Is she AUTHENTIC

“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.”

She’s spying on them by living there. She’s going to learn their secrets and destroy them. It’s 4 d chess.

This is my ignorance, but I always thought it was a law that a certain percentage of units had to be categorized as affordable housing.

not the case in DC?

I don’t know, but if she’s made it a plank to fight such practices yet lives in a build that is a clear example of said practices, how sincere can she really be?
