They all go to DC to get rich if they’re not already rich. If they are, they go to get richer. There is no valid reason for a senator to build a $2.5 million mansion in the DC area. There is no reason for any of them to own houses in the DC area.
Agreed. If they own a small condo or something similar in D.C., that makes sense. But to have a D.C. residence that’s bigger and better than their residence in their home state should be a big red flag to the constituents that they need to lose the next election. And if they don’t even have a real residence in their home state, they should be exposed and shamed into resigning.
