Rep. Katie Porter, D-Calif., speaks during a House Committee on Oversight and Reform hearing on gun violence on Capitol Hill in Washington, June 8, 2022. In Orange County, where the typical house sells for well over $1 million, Porter’s four-bedroom, three-bath residence in a subdivision on the University of California Irvine campus is a bargain. The progressive Democrat and law professor, who often laments the cost of housing in her district, purchased it in 2011 for $523,000, a below-market price secured through a program the university uses to lure academics who couldn’t otherwise afford to live in the affluent area.
