re: “Other congressmen sleep in their offices. She can too.”

Dick Armey slept on a cot in the House gym when he came to Washington in 1985 until he was evicted by then-Speaker Tip O’Neill.

“Their House Away From Home : Republican reps say sleeping in their offices is efficient. Democrats call it a gimmick.”
April 18, 1995

It’s bs
If your poor or working class
You have housemates and pay 500$
When you get areal job. You get your own apt
When you get married ( and you don’t live in Marin co ) you get a house
This is called real life if your not a spoiled rich kid
I hear these days kids don’t use this progression. They live with mom
You can’t possibly get areal girlfriend if you live with mommy
Roommates also are a pain Too. That’s why you motivate to get your own place
It’s called life

There are some neighborhoods in DC that are not outrageous right around The Potomic Gardens housing project. But you would never get a liberal to live there...

No first and last
Someone else is on lease
Very easy to move

Just pay for it. Or here's an idea: go to the bank and borrow the money against your future earnings. Or maybe you can ask Soros to to pay you $15,000 for a 15 minute luncheon talk at some liberal gathering.

Everyone should have the right to affordable housing in the most expensive real estate markets in the world, natch.

Yeah well she may be surprised to learn that the constituents answer to this is to drop their pay by about $100 grand a year and build them shared dorms with bunk beds and no services. Maybe then they’d spend time in their district where they belong.
Actually, if it was up to me I’d just shut DC down and send them all back to their districts for good. In this technological age there’s no reason for them to be there.

She can't find a place to stay until her first check comes in? Give me a break. There is one thing that millennials are good at and it is freeloading. I'm sure that she has already received lots of offers from wealthy liberals in D.C. with extra space she can use. But, of course, she'll continue grandstanding on this for all it's worth.

I'll say one thing, this nut job is going to be entertaining.

She has money available to her from her campaign funds. These funds can be used for interim expenses. She is blowing smoke.

Oh, poor baby. That $2170/month rent would only be 15% of her income. Many people have to pay to 25% of their income for housing, which in her case would be $3600/month and would leave the poor little snowflake with only $10,900/month for food and utilities.

She’s nuts——and looking for someone to foot the bill.

My granddaughter just started working in the DC area,just out of college-———and she has a roommate to split expenses.

That’s what young people with a brain usually do.

Try Arlington. Full with Hispanics and cheaper. Ride bus or metro to work. One bedroom for 1300. My son has one there.

No, it highlights her essential stupidity (as if we needed confirmation of that, after hearing ANYTHING that she said since coming on to the public scene).

Sheesh, she has a guaranteed salary of $174,000/year for the next 2 years. Plus just a little bit of influence because of the job that will pay her that salary. I refuse to believe that some bank won’t loan her $10K or $15K so that she can rent and furnish the apartment.

She’s just a f’ing moron, who likely has to be told to come in when it starts raining, and who has to be told to clean dog crap off of her shoes before entering someone’s home.
