Using a third party to set a community wide price level is something to carefully examine in court. Because such a setup could be used as a price fixing cartel with extra steps and plausible deniability for all parties.

Yes, it should be interesting to hear what comes out.

I'm not here to defend them. It's possible that, at the margin, their system helps gouge renters a few percentage points. They should be stopped from doing that.

But the broad wins are still with abundant housing.

As with much else, it's not either or... build more, and put a stop to this kind of thing if they find they are able to manipulate markets.
