2020 Democratic presidential primary candidate Beto O’Rouke (D-Texas) claimed that living next to one’s workplace was a “luxury” reserved for the wealthy.

O’Rourke — who lost a Senate bid in Texas to Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) during the 2018 midterm elections — made the claim in a tweet published Monday, where he also claimed that it was a person’s “right” to live near their job.

“Living close to work shouldn’t be a luxury for the rich,” the former congressman wrote. “It’s a right for everyone.”

Wonder what ‘dear old mom&dad’ will say when the help moves into the main house and he puts them in the servants quarters.

Go BETO that!!

Funny Headline. But made up headlines often result in articles getting zotted.

Having married a multi millionaire heiress I’ll wager that this policy won’t apply to people like Beta...kinda like the Rat Party Congress exempting themselves from Obamacare.

Beta is SUCH a dickless loser.

Half the country - you know, the ARMED AMERICAN half - will laugh in his face and tell him to f*** off.

He's going to have to change a lot of zoning laws.

BTW, zoning is a major cause of traffic congestion. You can't live where you work or shop. Have to drive.

Beta is SUCH a dickless loser.

Is this true?

[Brooklyn Attitude]

There is no aspect of your life that will not be dictated by these RAT totalitarians.

Next.

Eating three meals (or two, whatever) is a luxury.

Robert Francis has a plan for that, too.

[Mr. Jeeves]

Um...the rich don't have jobs. They create jobs, and have the perfect right to create them wherever they live.

Further proof that the Democrat definition of "rich" means anybody earning between 40 and 100K per year. That's where the income is that they want so desperately to tax.

The current mayor of Sacramento, Darrell “The Commie Prick” Steinberg said the same thing several years ago when he was trying to force the city of Folsom to develope more Section 8 housing.

[Magnum44]

He is like John Kerry, but he just never served in Vietnam...

[CodeToad]

I guess being president shouldn’t be a luxury and a privilege so everyone should get their day to be president.

[rfp1234]

So will he open the gust house at his mansion to poor people?

[Popman]

This Bozo must take idiot pills every morning....

[cmj328]

Such a simple problem to solve!

[Zathras]

I am able to work from home after 30+ years of hard work and gaining trust.

Sounds like he wants to go back to “the company town” way of doing things. Except this time it will be controlled by the government.

“If elected, I promise everyone a job at $20 an hour with free company paid housing. And free bus fare for your days off.”

If you want a car you'll have to pay $500/month in carbon taxes.
Groceries at the company store at 3x normal.
Community fees of $500 for home and yard maintenance, waste recycling, etc.

Since Irish Bob is such a tool for china, does this mean we have to move to one of their smelly cities?
