    So homeless then, I guess. Unless there’s some secret sauce to owning/renting a home in DC and your home district while making $16k annually (that’s the average after tax income for the lowest earning quintile of the population)

    Edit: i may be misreading what you meant…if you meant they’d be in the 4th lowest quintile, that gets its up to around $120k…still a tall order.

      You were misreading.

      What I brought up obviously doesn’t have all the details ironed out. Just a base concept. Add some money in for the 2nd home.
