Also so grateful to include the amazing Alex Horghidan's artwork on the cover!

So excited that our atlas has made it into the world, and so grateful to all those who contributed content and supported it along the way!

So excited to launch Evictorbook and so grateful to all the AEMP folks who made it happen!
Corporate landlords often hide behind complex networks of LLCs and LPs to avoid accountability while they push out low-income tenants of color. Our tool
#Evictorbook
pulls back the curtain to show who is really driving the region’s housing crisis

Yes, for sure. So many stories! There have been efforts in CA to legislate that they disclose actual ownership info with the state, but of course the real estate lobby kept that from going anywhere.

Exactly! Well put. This is in part why we’ve been building out Evictorbook in SF and Oakland but yes, corporate landlords and their tactics of anonymity are pervasive.
