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?

not sincere at all!

[Anonymous]

Sincere to voters until it’s time to live in an apartment that is above average and does not go by standards she has publicly stated must be met

And screw that robber baron Bezos until it’s time to shop. Then whole Foods FTW!

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.

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?

Get a life and stop obsessing about where this woman lives. Something about a young Latino woman achieving success and power touches a nerve for you, doesn’t it?

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.

Great find! The thing about socialist leaders is they never live like the masses

iPhone and Starbucks. She's not a socialist. She's not even a social justice warrior. My SJW colleagues don't own iPhones and don't drink Starbucks. It's all Androids and locally owned coffee shops with ethically grown beans.

Of course she's not a socialist. She's a democratic socialist. Huge difference and anyone who is the least bit educated knows this.

Right. Democratic Socialists are fine with living as members of the 1%, they only campaign on being 99 percenters

Give me a break. A) Being a democratic socialist doesn’t mean you have to take a vow of poverty; it means you care about the 99% and B) You don’t seem well versed in DC housing and the fact that the amenities in many average but not truly “posh” buildings in the area have ramped up as buildings compete for residents.

OMG. This is the funniest thing I’ve ever read.

That’s exactly correct. Even dc residents posting here know her building is above average but won’t admit it. We lived in military housing in DC so IDK have rental experience there, but do in NYC and these dcum liberals are full of it.

Their heroine is a fraud.

Lived in NC SC TX MO NM GA OH DC (4 of those states twice)
Raised in NYC
Lived in Europe almost 10 years

Lived in AFG, IRQ, and the kingdom of Saudi Arabia as a DOD Civilian.

Drove through KS a ton.

Fraud supported by people who think they are the only people to travel and live abroad or in multiple states.

Damn! 430?!?!

No wonder she needed to cheat her fellow servers out of $500 in tip shares when she was a bar tender!

I'm not the one make allegations about things that I admittedly know nothing about. Maybe you shouldn't pull statements out of your you-know-what.

So we know she pushed Amazon out of NYC, but shops at WF.

Why? It’s convenient. You know what else is convenient? 25,000 jobs in Queens.

Those poor unemployed people... Uh, who?

Alexandria, is that you?

[Anonymous]

It’s her money, you really don’t understand what’s going on. They don’t mind people having money just want people to pay more taxes

[Anonymous]

The only funny thing here after 13 pages is that she shops at whole foods.

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.

Republicans: She's a socialist, so she has to shop at dodgy grocery stores.

She has to shop at the same type of shops most of her constituents in Bronx do. She claimed to be just like them, Alex from the Bronx.

I’m sure the people who lost thousands of well-paying jobs in New York because of the Amazon deal falling through would love to live in a nice apartment and eat organic. She is learning typical democrat ropes - do as I say, not as I do.

Exactly. That’s my thought. The people in NYC who need jobs could have worked at Amazon. But that’s not ok with AOC, get outta here Amazon.

But she will shop at Whole Foods because it’s nearby? Really? So 25,000 were denied jobs at Amazon b/c she doesn’t like them- but she won’t avoid them herself because of convenience.

She’s all about sacrifice unless it involves her making a bit of effort to shop somewhere Jeff Bezos doesn’t own.

Y'all are nuts. Pitying those poor souls not employed by Amazon? I think they'll be just fine.

Wow are you out of touch. I am from that area and have family there. A lot of people were excited for Amazon jobs and were hoping to be employed at Amazon.

Seriously out of touch.

Come on. Rich DC liberals know better what’s good for the working class residents of the NYC.
