PRICED OUT BY DESIGN:  by James Nelson

This site promotes the upcoming book, PRICED OUT BY DESIGN. How AI, Big Data, and Corporate Landlords crashed our housing market, and how to fix it. PRICED OUT BY DESIGN is not just a book; it's an exposé on the rental housing industry. It shines a light on the role of revenue management technology powered by AI, which artificially sets rental rates through algorithmic price-fixing. This practice has doubled housing costs and significantly contributed to the housing crisis. The book not only examines how this technology works but also features stories from both housed and unhoused tenants, highlighting its profound impact on their lives. These narratives remind us that, behind every statistic, real people are struggling to find and hold onto affordable housing.
