1/7 Welcoming myself back to Twitter– Here are the 5 things I believe are most significantly impacting housing in the greater Cleveland metro. A thread..

Trump berates Zelensky, the leader of a democratic country courageously fighting Russian imperialism, while he allies himself with Putin, a dictator who started the bloodiest European war in 80 years.
Sorry, President Trump. We believe in democracy, not authoritarianism.

1) United Healthcare is 8th largest company by revenue in the WORLD. It made $389B last year...$2B less than Apple. It made more money than Exon, Microsoft, Samsung, JPM
United Healthcare also denies 32% of its claims...highest among health insurer
I’m not watching the debate. Go to check in on highlights. I’m sorry…what???
David Muir, the ABC moderator, immediately fact-checked Trump's claims that Haitian immigrants are eating neighbors’ pets in Springfield, Ohio.

Unpopular opinion:
Current narratives on housing inequality and boomer wealth completely skip the part where they were victims to the worst housing value crash of all time. Many of these people likely spent time underwater on their mortgage…for years…

BREAKING: The FTC just banned non-compete agreements.
The Federal Trade Commission has issued a final rule making it illegal for bosses to make workers sign noncompetes in any scenario, and voiding nearly all existing noncompetes.
This is a game changer for American workers.

The last 12 months have proven…Clevelanders are just the best there is.

Read more books this year than my adult life combined. Mostly by just reading for fun. Also officially a fan fiction girlie.
My sister @KBHeff put me to shame in reading this year. We both continued our long, slow descent into romantasy madness.
And like every other white millennial woman on booktok, I read Crescent City, Fourth Wing and peered into the darkness of Harry Potter fan fiction.

When discussing the need for reparations in redlined areas, think of a topographic map but instead of elevation its previous investment. You need a massive infusion of capital to even begin a conversation of future development.

The scam stickers are a distraction. Wholesalers (contextually important: largely BIPOC, local entrepreneurs) account for a tiny amount of transactions while BIG corporate ownership of the housing stock skyrockets.
The aim of @RepAdamSmith’s and my bill is simple: hedge funds shouldn’t own homes.
Houses in our communities should be homes for families—not a profit center for Wall Street.

When I think about the “scam” stickers for wholesale cash buyer signs I can’t help to cringe that big business successfully has urban lefties doing their bidding.

I frequently daydream about a reality where Cleveland city planners were as ferocious about righting the wrongs of racist redlining on our east side as they are about the necessity of west side bike lanes.
New tax brackets = my annual rant on how sexiest and patriarchal the tax rate is! Most unmarried high earners are…unsurprisingly…women! Talk about a pink tax!
Systematic/Institutionalized erosion of black wealth due to municipal foreclosures is the most under examined injustice in NEO.
Relative inherits paid off home
City/county/water let balance grow
Neighborhood becomes marketable
Foreclosure on tiny debt
Flipped by white investor

Issue 38 prioritizes building power in working class communities over building stadiums and luxury developments. It's time to build a future we can all be proud of!
