re: #24 jaunte

Apparently RealPage is heavily in use in the Phoenix area, leading to massive rent increases since 2020. Our (Democratic) attorney general sued RealPage and residential landlords for what is essentially collusion.

From what I’ve read, RealPage acts like a mafia, going around to landlords or management companies and threatening to cut them off from that sweet sweet colluding data if they don’t raise rents in line with the rest of their clients. It’s a vicious cycle and provokes rent increases.

I seriously hope RealPage gets smashed into smithereens. It’s not just Harlan Crow; it’s that thousands of families in the Phoenix area are living on the edge, one paycheck away from eviction because rents keep getting jacked up.

And it’s also time to go after those companies buying single family homes and renting those out at extraordinary prices.
