The economic law of supply and demand dictates that if the supply of goods or services outpaces demand, prices fall. Most politicians understand this and commonly invoke that law in response to public discontent about high consumer costs. When it comes to housing, however, leading Democrats are offering lip service to supply, while simultaneously engaging in counterproductive schemes to deflect responsibility for rising costs. Instead of addressing the true sources of inflation and economic instability, the administration’s go-to response is to take cheap shots at the private sector.Addressing the national housing shortage will require an estimated 1.7 million new homes each year, on average, until 2030. As its response to this crisis, the Biden-Harris administration has chosen a desperate, partisan approach by scapegoating private-sector technology through litigation.The Department of Justice is suing rental industry software company RealPage Inc., alleging it played a role in raising rents for apartments and multifamily dwellings. Blaming a single data analytics company for the nationwide housing shortage and inflationary pressures may seem bizarre — and it is. We need real solutions.What is RealPage? In addition to providing property management tools like IT support platforms and renter verification systems, RealPage offers assessments of rental asset metrics such as vacancy rates, leasing term trends, projected occupancy, and anticipated consumer demand.Property managers need quick analysis to set prices appropriately within the market. Setting prices too low risks financial disaster by failing to capture fair market value in a market with razor-thin margins. Setting them too high, however, discourages consumers, leading to empty units and daily losses.Without evidence from the Justice Department showing where rents have risen excessively, the claims of market power against RealPage appear dubious at best. Leasing companies with about 3 million units nationwide use RealPage’s market price assessment tools. If the government’s accusation held merit, it could point to plenty of examples to support the charge.Unwarranted attacks on data analytics tools represent the latest effort by a Biden-Harris administration that frequently makes baseless claims of misconduct across industries struggling to survive under the challenging economic conditions this administration has created.Last year, for example, the Justice Department sued to block JetBlue’s acquisition of Spirit Airlines. Biden-Harris central planners attempted to dictate travelers’ options while fostering an environment that stifles innovation and limits airlines’ ability to reduce fares.In another troubling example, the Biden-Harris administration targeted the grocery sector. When Kroger sought to acquire Albertsons, the Federal Trade Commission quickly challenged the acquisition, citing unfounded competition concerns and potential price hikes. This stance ignores the steep price increases driven by administrative policies and unchecked government spending, which have cost taxpayers over $2 trillion.Instead of addressing the true sources of inflation and economic instability, the administration’s go-to response is to take cheap shots at the private sector — companies that aim to innovate and create market efficiencies that benefit consumers.Improving the housing market starts with lawmakers overhauling the nation’s notoriously burdensome construction codes and regulations. Rising material costs due to tariffs, lengthy permitting processes, construction workforce shortages, restrictive zoning laws, and environmental requirements all create cost pressures that discourage building the new housing America desperately needs.Since returning to my native Arizona several years ago, I’ve seen firsthand the influx of people moving here, naturally driving up rents. Unfortunately, under our Democratic attorney general, state officials have joined the Biden-Harris administration in ignoring the real causes of rising market costs, previously filing their own lawsuit against RealPage. After 20 years of Republican leadership that made Arizona attractive to newcomers, Democratic leaders now regrettably pursue a misguided path that stifles innovation.To address housing affordability, we must tackle supply shortages and inflationary pressures. Instead, the federal government under Biden and Harris has chosen to scapegoat a software company and mislead consumers about how the housing market works. Americans shouldn’t fall for such false narratives.

Rita Moreno was famous in the ‘70s for The Electric Company, which helped kids back them with their reading and grammar. Five decades later, she is reflecting on her time as a cast member in the PBS children’s series and the trend she started in schools. The 92-year-old had a chat with PEOPLE where she also discussed her participation in other similar shows, and her acting career in general. Age has not stopped Rita from working, as she appeared in 80 For Brady, and the tenth Fast & Furious film Fast X last year. Kids used to yell Rita Moreno’s ‘Electric Company’ catchphrase at school Rita Moreno / Everett Rita was a regular on The Electric Company from 1971 to 1977, and her character Millie the helper started the iconic catchphrase “Hey, you guys!” The three-word exclamation was eventually added to the opening credits, and kids around the country started to echo it at school. She recalled how Principals would reach out to her because school kids used to yell the catchphrase around the school halls. To this day, Rita still has people yelling, “Hey, you guys!” whenever she is out in public, and she loves it. She earned multiple recognitions for the series, including a Grammy for Best Children’s Album. Rita Moreno / Everett Rita Moreno did not expect adults to enjoy the show The sole aim of The Electric Company was to teach kids to read; however, grown-ups who did not know how to read in English benefitted from the show. Rita noted that this impact was unplanned, but it was exciting. Her co-star Morgan Freeman, who played the DJ, also shared the same thought. Rita Moreno / Everett Rita made guest appearances in other children’s shows like The Magic School Bus and Disney’s Elena of Avalor. She also made Hollywood history as the third of 27 persons so far after Richard Rodgers and Helen Hayes to attain EGOT status with two Emmys, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony.
