A possible solution would be to pay each member of Congress 100% of the average income of his constituents plus free rent in a Congressional apartment building. Even here, though, we'd have to be careful that the apartments not get turned into miniature mansions by the ever-scheming members of Congress.

Let’s agree to a DC housing allowance to be determined statistically. They should be able to afford a one bedroom apartment with a minimum of amenities.

Re: “For a long time I have said that the people who serve in congress should be paid 150% the average income in their district (state for Senators). The extra 50% is because they must have a second residence in DC.”That's almost brilliant. ALMOST brilliant. The one problem I see is that some of the Congresscritters may be from districts or states where 150% of the average constituent income still is not enough to afford a second residence in D.C.
