This is a great idea. What would it take? FOIA the cities and/or counties or just scraping their sites?

Our process works by standardizing owner names, the addresses at which they receive tax bills, and their corporate registration addresses. We then use network analysis software to identify connected owner names. More methodological details are available on the “About” page. All our data sources are public, and we publish the complete code and source data in this public repository.

#TacomaNewsTribune please do this

I dunno... how did the team in MKE get their info? This info needs to stream from renters to legislators Everywhere

#Housing needs to be legislated as a human necessity, not a commodit¥/inve$tm€nt

@PeachMcD @dpflug The person to answer that would be @jeramey (If he's still active here.)

@rasterweb @PeachMcD @dpflug It relies on merging assessment records with state corporate records.

@jeramey @rasterweb @dpflug Now I'm wondering whether there's any #Tacoma or #WaState #lawyer or #Journalist types here on #Mastodon to look into this

There should absolutely be legal limits on how many properties any LLC, corporation, or individual who has multiple LLCs or partnerships can own.
