"Half of them sit empty because their business model doesn’t care"

What kind of insanity is this? Your entire argument is based on landlords not caring about occupancy, when that is actually the number one thing they care about. You obviously have no idea how any of this works and your linked source does not say a damn thing about landlords intentionally leaving units vacant.

Good news: proving illegal collusion didn’t require proving intentional vacancies.

Your evidence for that is easily had by opening the 5 newest developments in any major metro, and see how many units are available, despite people constantly looking. It’s kind of appalling.
