== Controversies ==
Meronek was co-author, with [[Andrew_Szeto|Andrew Szeto]] of a controversial May 10, 2017 article on ''Truthout, ''entitled "[http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/40509-yimbys-the-alt-right-darlings-of-the-real-estate-industry YIMBYs: The Alt-Right Darlings of the Real Estate Industry.]" The title of the article was subsequently retracted and the "Alt-Right" removed.
A follow-up article by Szeto and Merone published as an op-ed in the ''San Francisco Examiner'' on May 21, stated:
<blockquote>''"In the aftermath of our article’s publication, we have been the subjects of a mass doxing campaign — a common tact used by the alt-right against leftists. Our personal information has been shared widely over the internet, and our employers and publishers harassed, presumably to have us fired."''</blockquote>
