If student debt is canceled people will get married, make babies, purchase homes, take a vacation, quit that sucky job and live in their purpose, eat more veggies, grow a garden, adopt a puppy, give more to charity, be less miserable…and rich people will still get richer.

You should be able to know who your landlord is and if they’re abusive. That’s why I want to create and publicize a user-friendly online portal where tenants can type in a property address to get landlord information, including the history of property violations.
