AOC "Tough kid from the Bronx"? No. Grew up in Westchester. Dad was an Architect

Westchester is an upper middle class to wealthy suburb of NYC. Median cost of home in her Yorktown, Westchester neighborhood? $450,000 (per Zillow).
She then went to 50K+ a year Boston University - not free City College. Her parents weren't "working class". Her dad was an architect.
Puerto Rican Pocahontas.
^This is the Parkchester Bronx projects neighborhood she claims to be brought up in.
^And this is where she actually lived. Big difference.

Who ever said she was tough? Or that she had it tough growing up?
I just looked at the articles linked, and I see no quotes by her claiming she had a tough childhood, unless you count her saying her mom scrubbed toilets. Do you have evidence her mom didn’t scrub toilets.
It’s just as bad tiger fooled like this as it is to get fooled by somebody misrepresenting their background.
Listen to her? She doesn’t sound like she could get away with claiming she is some street urchin.

Let's keep it real.
Granted, she grew up in Yorktown Heights, not the Bronx ( LINK), and she didn't commute 40miles daily to school as she apparently claimed in her campaign.
But she was far from affluent.
Her home was a very modest 1200sq ft place ( LINK) on a quiet street. She attended a small, normal, public high school, 3 miles from her home.
Here's her childhood home:

Hardly the mean streets of the Bronx
She is basically a middle class kid.

Right, and that is good if you ask me. It doesn’t make you special that you grew up
Poor. To me it makes it more likely that you’re envious and want to soak the rich. Which I guess she does anyway.

That’s a very small house in my book. With a bigger yard than I have, though.

If white is privileged then why did Elizabeth Warren have to lie on her application?

Ragtop down.

355k for 1200 sq ft says not modest...not affluent either, but she didn't grow up A WIC child skipping meals and eating cabbage soup.

It’s pretty typical of early NYC suburbs.
Her upbringing was essentially comparable to most of the “privileged white boys” who post here.

That looks like a pretty dam nice place for something inside NYC. Hell, that’d be expensive in ATL if in a good school district.
