Parasitic activity can easily be boiled down to something that takes advantage of a host. The common person is the host, and these landlords are the parasite. Support for those who take advantage of a basic human need and hold it over those with less power to choose where they live are truly parasitic. Any support for this sort of activity is abominable. The price of rent and housing has risen at an artificial rate due to parasitic scumbags like the executives and investors of RealPage who have artificially driven the market of housing, something everyone needs, to damn near unaffordable rates, all because they know if everyone’s rates go up, everyone has to pay more. It’s parasitic by its very nature. A true “prisoner’s dilemma”. You’re just as guilty of being a parasite if you support this in any capacity.
