>> this seem to be a ham-handed attempt to seek a consent decree to create minimum rent prices, nationwide, without any appropriate legislation. And that will actually harm consumers.
Where does this contention come from? What makes it “seem” like this is the goal of the DOJ to you?
- gunapologist99 2y agoThe DOJ has not a prayer of proving that RealPage (or its clients or whatever) controls more than a tiny minority of the housing market, because it just doesn't. This is a tiny tiny fraction of all housing nationwide. So, since it can't do that and actually win this case on that basis, but on the other hand has virtually unlimited resources to string this out indefinitely, it's after something else. So, what do you think that could be? My guess is that this is an attempt at forcing these complexes into a price-setting consent decree. (by the way, thanks for actually responding with a criticism. A lot of time people just signal they disagree but they can't be bothered or can't articulate a real response. I do appreciate the substantive argument even if we might disagree)
