In 2024, I led the City Council to ban rent price-fixing algorithms like RealPage that landlords use to illegally collude and drive up rents across the country. The DOJ and AG Keith Ellison won a $360 million settlement on behalf of renters.

Economist Laurie Macfarlane "It’s time to call the housing crisis what it really is: the largest transfer of wealth in living memory. We have known since the days of Adam Smith and David Ricardo that land is not a source of wealth but of economic rent — a means of extracting wealth from others. Or as economist Joseph Stiglitz puts it “getting a larger share of the pie rather than increasing the size of the pie”.

The truth is that much of the wealth accumulated in recent decades has been gained at the expense of those who will see more of their incomes eaten up by higher rents and larger mortgage payments. This wealth hasn’t been ‘created’ – it has been stolen from future generations." Read article from 2017: https://evonomics.com/unproductive-rent-housing-macfarlane
