He didn’t buy the house for $1M, or likely anywhere near that. Likely bought it years ago when the city was a shithole. There was a time where even houses around Lincoln Park were vacant/dumps.
Doesn’t matter.
He says he has a net worth of around $10,000 according to disclosure statements. That means he has no equity in that house or his Atlanta home. He must have a 100% mortgage on both or he is lying about his net worth.
He is either a liar or thief. Probably a little bit of both.
BTW: If we are capable of ‘draining the swamp’, we may put enough of DC out of work to make his neighborhood a shit hole again!
When a majority of richest counties surround DC, we have a real problem in this country. Particularly when the government is so incompetent. If government was the least bit competent it wouldn’t be so scandalous.
