Reply to comment by cajunrockhound in Rent price fixing in Baltimore by TitsMageesVacation

Our occupancy is high, always has been, and to be fair, it’s an expensive building to begin with, but it still a huge jump, $ and % wise. Unfortunately, there’s no legal cap in MD. That’s the law, I get it, and I will always defend capitalism and supply and demand, but this is collusion.

It's aaaalmost like collusion and price fixing is a logical byproduct of extremist late-stage capitalism, when only small numbers of companies, even duopolies, control almost every industry...

Nah!

Sorry to sound so sarcastic, but we're nuts if we don't think this is going on in many/most industries.

So? I believe in the free market. A free market does not include collusion.

And frankly I don’t care that I’m being downvoted by some, this isn’t about my ego.
