I remember having to work through it quite slowly, because I keep getting so angry I couldn't see straight every few paragraphs.

imagine how I felt *editing* the package

They're buying the places we live too. Private equity is gobbling up all the rent controlled properties left in cities like Los Angeles & flipping them for profit. Most of them lose their rent controlled status & it makes the city even less affordable. PE is ruining American life as we know it.

This and the one about them taking over long term care facilities, hospices, and funeral homes.
