No, no, no. One single large bunk bed living area with one community shower area and unisex bathrooms. These ba$turd$ think we should live with weirdos, they should too!!
I don’t get this why does this get these fools agitated? There is definitely something about this we don’t know.

Why is any “solution” needed? Some members of Congress have decided to maintain their full-time residences (and families) in their home districts, and neither need nor can afford an expensive part-time residence in DC. I might care what an employee spends, but it is none of my business what he chooses not to spend. Kudos to them for keeping their families at home!
No more air conditioning or computers in Congressional office buildings or in the Capitol.
They should let the homeless sleep in their offices.
I’ll bet President Trump can figure out a way to make some of the empty office buildings into apartments. We could cut their salary and require them to live in one of the congressional apartments
I can imagine the cost of living in DC and how much sleep do they get if they do manage to have a place anyway, who needs a king size when ya get get by on an air mattress?
A nice blankie and a comfy couch could work nicely , they have attached bathrooms so it’s not that spartan, is it?
Maybe we should get the opinion of the Congressional White Caucus. Oh, wait, there isn’t such a group. That would be racist.
Paul Ryan and the others should not be living in their offices.
Why not?
My bad. I'm old school. 😉
I think it does, and without their family here, they are paying expenses for two houses. I believe they go to their home states on most weekends or holidays.
The Dems are just looking for things to make big issues of, and this is long standing practice done by more Republicans than Democrats.
Yes, I am sure Nancy must be seen and heard, lol.
Sleeping with who? #MeToo
...oh wait. Sleeping sleeping. This must be why Thad Cochrane is resigning.
“How about a Congressional barracks or no frills apartment building for the little sweethearts?”
Actually I believe you are close to the answer. My bet upon reading this is the underlying goal to be either the construction of Congressional housing, or compensation above, and beyond their salary for housing.
I couldn’t find any compensation for housing outside their salary when I researched the issue. Only for office supplies, and the like.
“It’s not fair that they work harder than me, but I have to get paid more if I work harder, so give me per diem so that I can get paid to do what they’re doing for free... for fairness... or something...”
Because of some of the reasons cited, such as using office resources for free for personal living situations.
If they insist on living in the office, they should pay rent, in my opinion.
Also, these guys get paid a comfortable six figure income. If that’s not sufficient to find a place to live, even though Washington is expensive, then I don’t know what else to say.
If I recall correctly, the U.S. Capitol is filled with nooks and crannies and this is where representatives sleep. The spaces, think former porter's closets, are divvied up by some impartial party like the Architect of the Capitol. In short, it's not luxury; it's expedient.
