It’s so frustrating. I’ve had so many high income clients leave the state since 2020 because of the lousy tenant “protections”.

They're lying and not bothering to lie well.
So how does EPA come up with the (bogus, deceitful) figure of $1.3 trillion in purported savings?
By literally adding up just 2 of 5 rows in this chart (col. 3, rows 2 & 3):

“Our comprehensive history cannot be told through government records alone,” says archivist Corey Lewis. “Without 'The Afro' to fill in the blanks, to tell these stories, to show the humanity that you cannot find in government records, where would we be?”
Since 1892, ‘The Afro’ Has Confronted Injustice and Celebrated Black Culture
This year, the longest-running Black-owned family newspaper in the U.S. moves its offices and rich archives into West Baltimore’s historic Upton Mansion.
