Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.

I hope so, but if I were betting, I would bet that actually the s*** show will continue. Too many very rich people have too much money invested in real estate speculation, and you know they're going to pressure their friends in Washington to not take away their honey pot.
I could be wrong, I sure hope I'm wrong, but this doesn't feel like the climate where we can expect to see significant victories that would benefit the average person. Not yet. Maybe soon? I don't know.
I see in the title reason enough for your cynicism.
RealPage is who they are going after, not the collusion, not does it attend to the companies buying up affordable housing or any of the base factors driving the increased costs of shelter. The malignant merging investment companies like blackrock et al are not going to be affected by this, even if it destroyed RealPage. (And im too cynical to believe it will even go further than fines)
