Meaning when one of us called an Uber or had a friend give us a ride—accusations that we were carrying on illegal activity.

Columbus has witnessed remarkable growth in recent years, largely attributed to the presence of tech giants such as Intel (with a $20 billion investment), Meta, Amazon, and Google, all of which have established warehouses and data centers in the area.

Sadly not the first case I’ve witnessed. 

@David DachteraLately I’ve been accused twice of insulting people when I ask questions, so right up front.

You have the secretary as witness.

What you don't want is to be liable/accused of charging tenants for your utility usage.

I remember vaguely thinking it was weird that someone would accuse a non-lender of "redlining," since the classic definition is very much a lender-specific thing: drawing lines on maps and not being willing to do mortgages for properties on the "wrong" sides of those lines.

You can learn a lot from listening to these type of cases in court, but if your lawyer is there representing you and you don't need to be called as a witness (he would have told you that already) you don't have to go.

I'm not accusing them of that!
