Landlords use RealPage to jack up rents, often with the majority of units in a city using the software, allowing it to raise rents in unison - leading to FBI raids and a criminal investigation Turns out RealPage is the brain-child of Harlan Crow, most famous for taking Clarence Thomas on vacations

Please please tell me that Thomas was involved in crafting how to maneuver the legal side of this. His name was not mentioned much in the article.

But almost all billionaires made their money by taking advantage of commoners. If commoners don't defend themselves through anti-trust laws, it's their fault. Oh wait...

I was assured, ASSURED I SAY, that Harlan Crow was an American patriot and a kind wonderful man by several well known conservatives whom he had hosted for lavish parties and whose salary he paid.

I’ve said for some time it's not inventory driving rents. I’ve kept hearing the term “market rates” from landlords when “market rates” haven't meshed w/ local average income. It reminded me of the values during the no-money-down-no-income lending. And there is all the part-empty luxury apartments.🙄

This is the kind of thing that is why I never say comments like "I could not hate this man more," because you've managed to make me hate this fucker so much more than I could imagine.

As a RealPage victim I am sitting here blinking slowly and crossing fingers and toes for real action. 15% over two years and was literally told by my landlords to pay or get out after the 11% hike. Yeah. I can get out...to another company using RealPages. PLEASE take them down.

That Harlan Crow who financed Thomas’s nephew’s education? Said nephew has been ghosted by the Thomases since 2010. He got kicked out of fancy school for drugs & Clarence washed his hands of him. Sorry for the rant. Had to.
