    I am surrounded by hundreds of empty units owned by a few multinational corporations subcontracting out their properties to the same management firm. They all use the same profit maximizing algorithm with a shared database. It’s very illegal. I don’t think a city could win a fight against a single billionaire, let alone a legion of them. I don’t see my city even trying. Right now some tenants across the country are suing, which is an even more damned approach. This needs a federal stick.
