FEATURING AARON GLANTZ –  Award-winning investigative reporter and author of Homewreckers Aaron Glantz has published a new report in Reveal examining a disturbing trend in housing: how, “America’s cities are being bought up, bit by bit, by anonymous shell companies using piles of cash,” and that, “All-cash transactions have come to account for a quarter of all residential real estate purchases.”

The phenomenon is all the more disturbing because of a housing crisis playing out in cities across the country, leading to epidemic levels of homelessness.
