Honored to be featured with @AlinaITurner on @sparkcbc. There are lots of opportunities for tech to contribute solutions to housing affordability & equity… but we need to be mindful of the limits and risks too. Stay tuned for https://t.co/aXB5mPYYQk’s next app cycle in 2022!

[Spark CBC Radio @sparkcbc]

A crop of innovators are using digital platforms to address equity in housing, from tackling racial bias in the home appraisal process to providing homelessness resources.

But do technical answers work for social questions?

@Scottcrichtonsa @charise_lee It is legal! They have been breaking the law the way they are taking people. It’s our constitutional right to observe the government like this.

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents just flash-banged and tear-gassed a 6-month-old baby.

ICE agents began tear-gassing a residential neighborhood after shooting a man nearby.

As the gas spread, a family got into their vehicle to escape the tear gas.

In the video, a man is seen standing in front of a car with airbags deployed on all sides, explaining that he told the agents he was trying to leave his house, with his family because of the tear gas.

Despite this, an agent threw multiple flash-bang grenades at the vehicle anyway… while children were inside.

Inside the van was a 6-month-old infant who stopped breathing after the attack. EMTs were called and taking the baby in an ambulance.

This was not a chaotic crowd encounter. The family was attempting to leave, not confront officers.

Federal agents are creating danger and then punish civilians for trying to escape it.

Raising Fed rates "will begin closing the door on a remarkable wealth event that has seen US homeowners refinance almost $5T in mortgages over two years." White homeowners have saved $3.8B annually, but the door "barely opened for Black Americans" https://t.co/KXI8Zs5ZQI via @bw
