If you’re trying to defeat a bill, it’s wise to craft a narrative with heroes and villains. You’ll want to highlight sympathetic victims and undeserving beneficiaries of the measure, should it pass.

Maybe landlords are using software to collude illegally in setting rents. Maybe they aren’t. But Jersey City politicians aren’t waiting to see if ongoing lawsuits prove that allegation. Instead, the City Council voted unanimously Thursday to ban apartment owners from using products like those from RealPage and Yardi Systems to suggest rents. The bill had just been introduced this month, according to NJ.com.
