I'm excited to share work that I did investigating corporate property ownership in Chicago last year with the Mansueto Institute, WBEZ, and the Injustice Institute. This work enables folks to investigate who owns your property and what other properties that owner might own.

my fav "A top-10 university, renowned for pioneering modern economics—and an eponymous school of thought that emphasizes fiscal restraint—should at least match its peers’ fiscal discipline and investment performance, let alone the market. It has failed to do even that."
