The view from Congressman Dutch Ruppersberger's (D-Md.) condo residents, units 708 and 608, at the ocean front Summer Beach complex in Ocean City.

The fantastic package by our Post colleagues looking into how congressional earmarks benefit projects located near lawmakers’ own property has us feeling a little like the curious neighbor dropping by the open house down the block.
Or like the voyeuristic thrill one gets from a good episode of “House Hunters.” We actually get to peek into the homes of Members of Congress--and there’s some pretty nice real estate to drool over. We get to check out the little condo building in Ocean City, Md., where Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger (D-Md.) own a couple of units. It’s got a killer view.
And Tybee Island looks pretty good right now (it’s where Georgia Republican Rep. Jack Kingston owns a cottage a scant 900 feet from the beach).
Major property envy.
