      They spend the work weeks in Washington D.C. at the Alpha House and their weekends with their families at their own homes elsewhere.
      The Alpha House is a "crash pad".

      @Mary Teresa You think thats fake, a lot of senators and congresspeople also sleep inside their offices. (I provided a link to the news story below if you don't believe me.)
      Theres 3 reasons politicians sleep in "fraternity houses" and their offices:
      1) They only live and work there during the work week and go home to their houses and families outside of Washington D.C. on the weekends
      2) They want to save money, to practice what they preach in terms of finance and/or for the PR. (Politicians must earn an average of about $1000 a week for their re-election campaign if they widh to have any realistic hope of being re-elected)
      3) They work long hours and can't really enjoy the place they live at during the week, therefore they don't care so much about living accomadations. Just like in the video, the senator said he frequently comes home at midnight. (Just like you said, the senators don't spend "much" time there. However they do sleep there.)

    Th frat houses I’ve been to aren’t ever too messy unless just had a party or will have one. They cleaned spotless within 2 days unless cleaners come earlier. During pandemic much much cleaner(friends live and took pictures)

    I think this is a hoax. They probably live in the house, but it isn't under those conditions. Notice that they only show the one room, which they must have set up for the 'joke'. If this was real, the Board of Health would have something to say about it. The sad thing is that there are many people who do live under similar conditions, and it is nothing to laugh at.

      why would the board of health give two shits about a house?
      there are plenty of people living in shittier places... i don't see them going around citing them for having a "dirty" house. >.>

    You’re right miss reporter, it IS hard to believe that such prominent politicians actually stay here.

    It makes some level of sense that these guys would put minimal effort into their living quarters that they probably don't spend much time in, but gosh I wish they'd take better care of their nutritional needs. Healthy body makes for a healthy mind!

    Confusing at first, but this is a promo for the amazon show Alpha House. They "live" there in the same way you "live" on a family members couch during the holidays, you're only in need of a place to sleep for a few days and then you go home, vs. What I imagine are actually pretty expensive and booked hotels I could see people sleeping there.

    Guys really live in apartments like this and don't see any issue
    it's probably super cheap so they spend nothing on it, has beds and can cook if they really need to, but they probably just go there to sleep now. Used to be a frat house now just a sleep house for 8 hours a day
