Thank you, Megan! I love Cleveland and how it provided an excellent opportunity to study laws that affect landlords and renters nationwide, including water billing regulations, housing codes, and criminal activity nuisance ordinances.

[Megan Hatch @meganehatch]

I recommended this today to @rebecca__maurer but thought I'd make a wider recommendation as well: if you live in the Cleveland area and are working on/experiencing rental housing, you really should check out this book by @MeredithGreif https://t.co/2VkDZN323S

@robinbartram1 @CiCoJournal Congratulations, Robin! This is something I'm really looking forward to reading.

[Meredith Greif @MeredithGreif]

Thank you for succinctly capturing this. In not considering the social and economic circumstances of the groups involved (whether landlords or tenants) our well-intended policies are falling short.

[Dr. Samantha Hancox-Li @perdricof]

this interview with @meredithgreif provides so many examples of how this kind of thinking goes wrong. take lead, for example. lead pipes are a problem, lead in the water gives kids brain damage. so we want to not have lead pipes.

What can be done when regulations intended to help vulnerable tenants, end up disadvantaging them further? Professor @MeredithGreif discusses these unintended consequences and the trade-offs inherent in many of our policy decisions on #UCLAHousingVoice: https://t.co/fN8KyhVtSu🎙️

It shows that laws which appear “neutral” on the basis of factors including race and class, instead restrict access to decent, stable, affordable housing, among Black and lower-income Americans, & Americans who are unemployed, have disabilities, children and who hold vouchers.

“The cost of living is going up so quickly — through the price of gas and food and rent — that more people can’t afford a place to live anymore." - @MeredithGreif

@abhabhattarai Apologies for misspelling your name. Thank you for covering such an important topic @abhabhattarai

[Meredith Greif @MeredithGreif]

There is no time to spare. Fast action is needed to prevent even more Americans from falling off the cliff into homelessness. Thank you @abhabattarai and @rachsieg for including me in this story.

[Abha Bhattarai @abhabhattarai]

The Post contacted shelters in 15 states. All reported a dramatic increase in need, particularly among single mothers.

They're also seeing a rise in families who still have steady, even good-paying, jobs but cannot find a home they can afford. https://t.co/WFFw5P9xdK
