Where in the world does Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez live?
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
She may be America’s most famous freshman congresswoman, but in New York, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a virtual ghost.
She has no district office and no local phone number, unlike the state’s three other freshman members.
And it’s unclear whether the 29-year-old lawmaker, who represents the Bronx and Queens, actually still lives in the Parkchester neighborhood that has been so closely tied to her rise — even though she won her upset victory over fellow Democrat Rep. Joe Crowley with accusations that his home in Virginia made him too Washington-focused to serve his district.
Ocasio-Cortez has used her deceased father’s Bronx condo on her voter registration since 2012, and even posed in the one-bedroom Bronx flat for celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz in a Vogue magazine profile after her stunning November election. But The Post could find little indication she continues to live there.
The Post e-mailed the Ocasio-Cortez’ spokesman, Corbin Trent, four times with specific questions — they were all ignored. On Saturday, The Post reached Corbin by phone.
“We will not be commenting,” he said. Among the queries he refused to answer: Where does the congresswoman live?
On Saturday night, a staffer promised a Post reporter that Ocasio-Cortez would talk to him after a speaking event in Corona.
During the event, two staffers were seen reading an early edition of this story on their phones.
“Come downstairs, I have to take a picture quick,” the congresswoman then told the reporter after the event, instructing him to wait for her. Twenty minutes later, she ducked out a back door, jumped into a chauffeured SUV, and zoomed off.
Ocasio-Cortez was in New York City last weekend and this weekend, with appearances in Queens on both Saturdays — yet she was not seen coming or going from her Parkchester pad either day.
Her apartment’s next-door neighbor said she had never seen Ocasio-Cortez. Another neighbor, who has lived down the hall from the congresswoman’s apartment for the last 40 years, said he’d never seen her or her boyfriend, Riley Roberts, who has claimed the address as his own since last spring.
“I would have remembered,” said the neighbor when shown a photograph of Ocasio-Cortez.
A postal worker who delivers mail to the building said that in the last 10 years he has only seen Ocasio-Cortez intermittently, and that several months’ worth of mail regularly accumulates in the mailbox before anyone bothers to collect it. The worker said that Ocasio-Cortez and Roberts were the only ones getting mail at the address.
“Just because their names are on the box doesn’t mean they live there,” he said.
And in 2017, when Ocasio-Cortez first filed paperwork to become a congressional candidate, she didn’t even know what district she lived in, mistakenly declaring plans to run for neighboring District 15 before correcting the error days later.
Meanwhile, in Washington, Ocasio-Cortez has rented a pad in a luxe building in the chic Navy Yard neighborhood, where studios start at $1,840 a month, according to the Washington Examiner .
Her new digs feature gold-plated amenities like a rooftop infinity pool, a cycling studio with a dozen pricey Pelotons, men’s and women’s saunas, and a golf simulation lounge — but no affordable units for low-income residents, in spite of a local law that requires them, the news site reported.
In the eight months since Ocasio-Cortez’s dramatic defeat of the long-serving Crowley in June’s Democratic primary — a victory that all but guaranteed a general election win in the heavily Democratic District 14 — the congresswoman has failed to open a local office.

So she 'has no district office' but her 'constituent office' in the district is under construction.
I know that 1+1=2 is difficult for some to understand, but I gave you more credit, Dulay.
Didn't the madman Christopher Hasson have her on a list of congressional representatives?
Didn't he have her address at a luxury apartment in Washington DC?
The seeded article mentions her luxury apartment in DC. I haven't followed anything about whatever Christopher Hasson has/may have done.
AOC recently whined about people who criticized her fancy DC digs, though. I'm just glad that she finally found a DC apartment she could "afford", because around the time of her "inauguration" in January, she said that she didn't have money for a DC apartment.
"A number of outlets reported in the past week that the freshman lawmaker, whose congressional salary is $174,000, lives in a tony section of the capital in a building where rents range from $2,000 for a studio apartment to more than $5,000 for a three-bedroom."
It kind of backs up your seed
I know its hard for you to understand but if the office isn't even built yet it is kind of hard to claim occupancy.
I'm sure she is way to busy with her celebrity status to waist time in a office anyhow.
So you're saying that her constituents are incapable of dialing her DC #. Got ya.
BTW, the USPS worker should be toast...
I never said that, Dulay. However, AOC's constituents in NYC should be able to contact her in their/her district.
Why?

You said to 'Read comment 2.' in which you quoted:
Each Rep. has a DC website, with a phone # and a email contact page. Yet your seed states that her constituents have 'no way to contact' her, and you perpetuate the BS.
Because he violated AOC's and her boyfriends right to privacy, which is a violation of USPS regulations.
AOC has made herself the D laughingstock since she burst onto the political scene last year. She's even berated Pelosi and Feinstein, and that's a big no-no!
Like others have said, she's taken over your thoughts. You're all obsessed with her. She owns you.
She has found the political trough; just a question who is funding her new lavish lifestyle?
Well, at least you won’t be trying to tell us she’s running a child sex trafficking operation at Jerry’s.
Why would you accuse me of doing something like that?

Apparently AOC doesn't need an apartment, she is living rent free in your head......
I love what that millennial is doing to the stone and chisel crowd.
If she would have body slammed the reporter they would have cheered.
The NY Post is just another Murdoch scandalmongering or outright BS POS rag. And just to underscore what filth it is, it actually cites an even scummier piece of rightwing shit, the Washington Examiner. [Removed] And, wow, does AOC rule their lives right now.
So where does she really live?
As of last night, she claimed that she has a different apartment than the one mentioned in this seed. I'm not sure why she changed addresses, because the apartment in the seed is owned and paid for by her mom.
Why do you need to know? Unless you're a constituent it is absolutely none of your business.

Like SP said above: In your heads.
Shooting the messengers instead of discussing the topic is the Alinsky tactic, Atheist. Knock it off. Only warning.
Oh, you scare me, buddy. Oooooooooooooo. When the messengers you people choose are lie-mongering rightwing pukefunnels they make themselves the topic. [deleted]
We just know the lists where those addresses end up. She was on your guy, Paul Hassan's list. No telling how many more stray dogs are out there looking to make a big bloody splash.

Oh, puhhleeeeze. 'Tis to guffaw.
Sure sounds like something your Paul Hassan would say.
Another Hassan like comment from you. Tell us again how he's not one of yours.
Why is the right so terrified of this young woman?
She seems to be their "booger man"
AOC makes Trump look like a "Rhodes Scholar".
“ Unemployment is low because everyone has two jobs ,” said Ocasio-Cortez in an interview on PBS’ “Firing Line with Margaret Hoover”
When asked in an interview with Jorge Ramos last week about how to pay for Sen. Bernie Sanders’, I-V.T., “Medicare for All” proposal, which Ocasio-Cortez has put at the center of her campaign, Ocasio-Cortez responded, “ You just pay for it. ”
When asked by Chris Hayes on MSNBC about what she plans to do once she gets to Congress in two months, Ocasio-Cortez struggled to develop a coherent response and failed to offer any specifics. Instead, Ocasio-Cortez delivered this message on air:
"Well, I think a lot of it has to do with changing our strategy around governance. You know there’s a lot of inside baseball and inside the beltway as you, you always hear that term thrown around. But there are very few organizers in Congress. And I do think that organizers operate differently. It’s a different kind of strategy. And what it is, is really about organizing and, and really thinking about that word: organizing. Segmenting people. Being strategic in their actions in really bringing together a cohesive strategy of putting pressure on the chamber instead of only focusing on the pressures inside the chamber."
You remember Trump....the one you ALWAYS call "Stupid" !
Her response was actually more coherent than any of his. So there is that!
Did you know that playing the Beatles song "Strawberry Hills Forever" backwards.....you can hear Paul Die !
And that STILL makes more sense than Trump speaking!
D.C. I guess, I don't know, I don't pay a whole lot of attention to her.
Lol that is so stupid. I don't know and haven't seen virtually any of my neighbors with one exception (she was the realtor that sold us our house) over the last year. If you ask me who lives around me my answer would be "I don't fucking know." If you even asked me what their race was or what they looked like I would give the same answer.
And to those who think this is anything "real", tell me who lives 6 houses down from you on the opposite side of the street. Then do it again on the opposite side.
