Re: Ocasio-Cortez tells NY Times she needs congressional salary before she can afford an apartment in DC

Posted by Charles G on Thu Nov 8 21:56:11 2018, in response to Ocasio-Cortez tells NY Times she needs congressional salary before she can afford an apartment in DC, posted by Olog-hai on Thu Nov 8 16:40:58 2018.

Is this really so unusual? I recall stories from when the Republicans took over Congress in 1994 and (to a lesser extent perhaps because I wasn’t paying close attention) about freshman house members sleeping in their office or doubling or tripling up in an apartment.

House members typically won’t give up their current home or move their families to Washington for what may only be a two-year job. Maintaining two households is not cheap.
