Taking Action

View Panel Discussion on the Eviction Crisis from Monday, June 8.

James Nelson blows the whistle on the multifamily property management cartel, exposing artificial price-fixing, rent hiking, discrimination, and the systematic dismantling of America’s consumer protection watchdog, the CFPB. “Stealing Home” is a clear call to action to curb sky-rocketing rental rates and closing costs (fees) and take back the American housing market.

“Stealing Home is a brilliantly researched book into why rental prices are escalating throughout the country. We must demand answers from those who can fix this crisis. Nelson shows us what we can and must do to fix this. Reporters, please read and investigate this. Now!”

Julie Blacklow, former KING-5 Seattle investigative journalist

“James Nelson has done the movement for affordable housing a huge favor by writing this explosive new book about Artificial Intelligence technology. Tenants threatened with evictions can fight back against landlord’s greedNelson’s research justifies a thorough investigation by the responsible public officials.”

Mike Withey, human rights lawyer, former president of the Public Justice Foundation

“Nelson’s compelling research correlates artificial intelligence, rising rental prices, and in many cases, discrimination within AI algorithms during a time when we need answers and accountability for sky-rocketing multifamily rental rates.”

T’wina Nobles, President, and CEO, Tacoma Urban League

So, will rent-strapped Americans receive the same treatment, or will they be left to fend for themselves?
