Th City of Philadelphia just passed a new ordinance with a vote of 17-0 banning the use of algorithmic pricing for properties in the city. San Francisco was the first city to enact such a ban. Philadelphia is the second and it is expected that others across the nation will follow suit.  The city bill references an anti-trust motion brought by the department of justice. The Justice Department alleges that RealPage's pricing software has features that are anticompetitive and therefore violate the Sherman Antitrust Act, a law passed more than a century ago. --------------- **Real Estate Espresso Podcast:**  Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)    iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)    Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)    LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)    YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)    Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)    Email: [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])   **Y Street Capital:**  Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)    Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)    Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)
