This is pretty wild. Cincinnati filed court documents a couple weeks ago alleging that real estate investment company Vision & Beyond has effectively abandoned hundreds of units of housing in the city. And that's just the tip of the iceberg on this one. wvxu.org/local-news/2025-01-…

When you stand back, it's incredible that a small group of people wield such vast power to reshape Detroit's skyline as they see fit.

It’s incredibly easy for property owners to shield their identities. All you need is to set up a limited liability company, or LLC. It’s perfectly legal and extremely common.

Tireless work by Alexa Eisenberg on increasing access to the poverty tax exemption bit.ly/2S5vR1M. Time for @cityofdetroit to focus on actually existing fraud, speculators and landlords using Personal Resident Exemptions to skirt tax not squeeze the poor. #HousingCrisis
