Funny. I did the “English Basement thing” and my rent was not less than what AOC was paying for her apartment. Again, lots of people weighing in who clearly have NO idea what living in DC as a middle class person is like.

A DMV nut job was just arrested with his arsenal for plotting to kill her.

He was planning to kill a whole bunch of people - many in congress as well as Don Lemon, Morning Joe, Beto, and Chris Hayes.

Please stop acting like she was the only target.

Oh please. If we know about English basements we know about living in DC.

I think the fact that this thread went 14 pages is a good sign for AOC. She is getting a lot of attention. She has learned well. The more Fox talks about her, the better for her.

Yep, that she's the next full of sh** hypocritical phony the ruling class shoves in front of cameras while they continue to loot the world.

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?

Last week, Democrats mocked President Trump for installing a new golf simulator at the White House — updating with his own money one originally installed by former President Barack Obama.”

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

So how much is the rent?

The amenities are irrelevant if she's not paying much for them.

Well, the whole thing is irrelevant, but to address your points.

Do the masses have those kind of amenities? I think not.

The average rent in DC is 2700/month. Her apartment runs $1800/month for an efficiency, to $5400/month for a 3 bedroom apartment.

So if her single self got a 1br apartment, then yes she's paying average for DC.

In a place that has zero affordable housing, a cause she pledged to take on.

Affordable for thee and not for me, quoth the socialist.
