Anyone who knows me knows I’m someone to ask about fashion. (I’ll leave that to you to decide whether I’m being sarcastic.) What’s not to love about spring? The sun is out—unless you live in Colorado, in which case it snowed for the past 24 hours. The living is good—unless your house has just been [...]
Can You Spot Illegal Steering?
When choosing topics to cover in my new fair housing book, a common practice known as “steering” easily made it to the top of my list. Why?
