CalPERS Loses $600M in Predatory Schemes that Relied on Mass Displacement of Tenants

What has not been adequately reported is that these schemes are classic examples of what housing advocates call “predatory equity,” over leveraged investments that rely on the displacement of tenants from rent-regulated housing in order to turn profits.
