I haven’t been on Twitter for a while because my partner, @IanVandaelle , has been in the hospital since Nov. 18. It’s with a heavy heart today that I say he was declared neurologically deceased this week and taken life support this morning. He was 33 years old.

This short post was cathartic to write. I have the utmost sympathy for anyone whose business was impacted by #COVID19 ... but that stops at companies that had helped erode housing affordability in my city - especially as they ask for a gov. bail-out.
