It's a duopoly. Of course you're being ripped off. Hence the lawsuit.

Can't pay for housing on a credit card (usually). Most rent and mortgage payments are checks in the mail or ACH web portals.

I'm surprised rent as a percentage of transaction volume is so low. We don't all live in the Bay Area, I suppose.
