I don't know how many times we have to explain this. Free market prices convey useful information about how much supply is available, and offers incentives to increase the supply of products when they are needed. There is no such thing as "price gouging." it is simply the free market operating as it should.

We’re launching a new, simple intake system to report price gouging — call @MyLA311 to report illegally hiked rents and prices.

We have no tolerance for it.
