Yup -- I love that people always point to RealPage's existence as some sort of smoking gun that proves literally every landlord is colluding with one another.

Also, even if it were proof that every current landlord was colluding, the easiest solution to that would be... to build a lot more housing, to severely dilute the power of current landlords.
