The White House’s new housing report completely ignores the underlying dynamics, choosing instead to scapegoat the market tools property owners use to set rents.

The recently released White House report blaming computer software for the massive increases in rental prices that Americans have suffered over the past four years is best described as a self-serving whitewash.
This report claims that algorithmic pricing software, used by property owners to set a market price for their rental properties, has artificially inflated rents. But this analysis conveniently ignores the primary culprit — the Federal Reserve’s dovish monetary policy and the Biden administration’s reckless economic agenda.
