how do you ask police for input on a prospective tenant without sharing that tenant's information?
is the information being sought to determine a prospective tenant's eligibility not captured in a criminal record check? would you use allegations not proven in court to reject someone from housing?

No matter what you do, the far right will always want the next cruelty, and their torch-bearers in the press will attack you for not delivering it. All while priming voters to conceive of far right concerns as newly moderate.
Again, this has happened in every single place this has ever been tried.
