Nonprofit developers are hauling longtime low-income renters into court to kick them out of a city-owned Venice fourplex, all to build a $133 million affordable housing project that the city's own attorney has called "infeasible and unauthorized." Mary Alice Crowe moved into her apartment near the Venice Canals forty-three years ago. She was twenty-nine. She raised her son there, built a life there, and at seventy-one she assumed she would stay. Allan Phillips, her neighbor in the same small building, has lived there for thirty-five years. Both pay below-market rent on city-owned land. Both now face a legal action filed by nonprofit developers who want them gone, and who argue they cannot afford to wait for the tenants' own lawsuit…Open

A former convict in Baltimore turned his frustration with Maryland's squatter-friendly laws into a thriving removal business, boarding up doors, deploying smoke bombs, and charging property owners $2,000 a job to do what police won't. Sanchez Deandre Lewis, who goes by "Mikey," runs a crew he calls "the Wolf Pack" under the banner of his company, Squatter King Removal. His methods are blunt: board up windows and entrances, pull doors off hinges, remove locks, and apply relentless pressure until unauthorized occupants leave voluntarily. He also keeps smoke bombs and bear spray on hand as what he calls defensive measures. The Daily Mail profiled Lewis and his operation, detailing tactics that have drawn a growing social media following and…Open
