"Corporate landlords are systematically attracting Black residents into white, upmarket neighborhoods, stripping their wealth, and then kicking them out again." The Institute's own Spirangelos brilliantly reveals striking findings thx to unprecedented #TenantPowerToolkit data.

I am glad to be part of the open-access volume "Insurgent ground: land, housing, property" curated by the wonderful Ananya Roy terra graziani & Annie Powers. The book emerges from a Freedom School held at the UCLA Institute on Inequality & Democracy in Summer 2024. Download: challengeinequality.luskin.ucla.edu/2025/05/05/ins…
