That’s an absurd extrapolation. These people are productive members of society, and homelessness is a solution handled by building housing.

no one is going to do that in this administration though.

No one is illegal on stolen land.

There are homeless people. They’ve already priced out millions of people. They don’t give a shit about “losing customers”. RealPage is the default service in the US, meaning everyone’s rent in each city is in the same ballpark and gets the same rent increase every year.

The way it actually works is that all the landlords outsource their paperwork to a rental management company like RealPage, which then algorithmically fix prices to be as high as possible.

I think it’s fair to be surprised by their effectiveness, and also surprised by the homegrown resistance to it

But that doesn’t allow for manipulation or discrimination!
