quote [ Texas-based RealPage’s YieldStar software helps landlords set prices for apartments across the U.S. With rents soaring, critics are concerned that the company’s proprietary algorithm is hurting competition. ]
Basically, landlords are using algorithm services to collude in price fixing. Roper, one of the assholes behind the service Yieldstar, literally got his start in price fixing for airlines and got busted for it back in the 80's only to come back and do it for landlords.

Let's say you have an island. The landlords on this island have erected 1,000 1-person tents. The tents cost the landlords $1/month. 1,000 workers are on the island, and they will earn $100/month. It's impractical to leave immediately, no matter the cost of the tents.
What price should the landlords set for the tents? What price will they set? |
