New investigation from me: Local developers are buying rent-controlled apartments, clearing out existing tenants, and marketing to housing choice voucher holders -- incentivized by DCHA's overpayments. In the process, they're eroding affordable housing.

Devastated to report after only two weeks of coding classes in grad school that it's one of the most single useful skills a journalist can have for data analysis. I'm reeling. I wish I'd done this 10 years ago. If you're a reporter, run don't walk to dataquest and learn R.

This wasn’t an anomaly, and will keep happening unless the DC government prevents known bad actors from receiving lucrative housing contracts. For every Razjooyan that gets sued, there are a dozen others with racks of housing code violations who continue to house the vulnerable

The kicker to this @washingtonian joint about the destruction of @DCist & confusion of @wamu885 pretty much sums up what it was like working there for the last year

Another way to look at this is: D.C. is being cited as an example before SCOTUS of how not to treat people experiencing homelessness. Too bad DCist doesn't exist anymore and WAMU won't hire another housing reporter!
