The Daily Outrage: Lap of subsidized luxury

Published July 2, 2011 4:00am ET



Who: Fairfax County Board of Supervisors What: Low-income residents are getting tax subsidies to pay for resort-style housing in affluent neighborhoods. Some of the perks include a swimming pool, a billiard room, granite counter tops and stainless steel appliances.

Why it’s an outrage: Many of the taxpayers in Fairfax County cannot afford luxuries like this for themselves but are picking up the tab for those who qualify for subsidized housing.
