Link showing under what circumstances a family earning $200,000 gets housing subsidies?

Are you people so lazy and incompetent you can't actually look this up for yourselves? No wonder you all languish in mediocrity.

Well, aren't you a nice one?

Anyway, the middle-income apartments I checked all seem to top out at $134,000. I see nowhere where a couple earning $200,000 get taxpayer assistance.

"Couple" is not the same thing as "family of four". We'll add illiteracy to the list of shortcomings.

I saw it said "family of four," but I imagine the the kiddos aren't contributing to the $200,000. Besides, it says $134,000 for a family of four. Show me where a family earning $200,000 is sucking off taxpayers, and I'll have an interesting editorial to submit.

(And no need for me to outline your shortcomings. Anyone reading your lovely posts already has an idea.)

Right hand side column dear. "Income range" means "amount of income you can have and still qualify."

That was a different link this time, dear. You linked to something else earlier.

Still....that's absolutely inexcusable! Families earning $214,000 should not be taking taxpayer funds. No wonder the city is broke. That liberal mayor needs to have his head examined.

Actually, that second link is the very first link listed in the first link I posted. The one that says "advertisement." The first page is a list of buildings you see, and from that list you can access specific buildings (which is what that second link is).

I hope for your sake you're a trophy wife, because your brains are not going to get you far.

Agreed that OP is a blithering idiot. It doesn't take much in the way of brains or competence to earn 100k/year around DC, apparently.

+2. OP has absolutely no class...her income doesn't even matter at this point. She sounds more like someone making 30k and living in a trailer home. Perhaps she does.

You rude snobs calling the professional earning $100,000 a "blithering idiot" and "trailer trash" should have a look at the other thread that shows a college-educated earner making $100,000 is in the top 15% of all college graduates (the majority of whom love in cities where COL is high).

You snobs are why average earners making $40,000 rejected Democrats - which was, I believe, the point OP was making. Talk about idiots - you're too stupid to understand that.

Oh dear, more blithering.

If this thread shows anything, it's that there are people like the OP ^^^ making $100k that are complete imbeciles. Hey OP, you should give your job to someone with a brain and the ability to think critically. And you know, stop pretending like you're a different poster.

*slow clap*

If anything, it shows that there are people so out of touch with reality that that enjoy making fun of a professional with a six-figure income. I doubt the OP has been back in a while.

Hi OP! You are pathetic.

?? He lost the popular vote and won by <1% in the three states necessary to get the electoral college. The country is divided, but the first part of your sentence (and your theory) aren't true.

You're right about those numbers, and the fact that the country is divided (which I think you revel in), but they aren't the numbers used to determine the winner in a presidential election. I'm not a trump fan, and I didn't vote for him. You aren't going to win over people (I know that you'd rather they die) and help unite the nation with your superiority.

I am sure this is a fascinating 29 pages of insightful comments. I am sure of it.

Thanks, this is interesting. I think it'll pass over the heads of most of these posters. Or they'll quibble about the details of 20% vs. 15% or whatever.

As a recipient of financial to s top private school I can attest this is true.
They are hoarding opportunities for their kids and after 5 years we are leaving.
My kids are top performers but I will not sell them out to a system I don't respect.
Thanks for posting!
