Its product is called YieldStar, and its successor is AI Revenue Management, which uses much of the same codebase as YieldStar but has more precise forecasting. RealPage told CalMatters it serves only 10% of the rental markets in both San Francisco and San Diego across its three revenue management software products.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s how it works:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In order to use YieldStar and AIRM, landlords have historically provided RealPage with their own private data from their rental applications, rent prices, executed new leases, renewal offers and acceptances, and estimates of future occupancy, although a recent change allows landlords to choose to share only public data. This information from all participating landlords in an area is then pooled and run through mathematical forecasting to generate pricing recommendations for the landlords and their competitors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Diego council president, Sean Elo-Rivera, explained it like this:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In the simplest terms, what this platform is doing is providing what we think of as that dark, smoky room for big companies to get together and set prices,” he said. “The technology is being used as a way of keeping an arm’s length from one big company to the other. But that’s an illusion.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the company’s own words, from company documents included in the lawsuit, RealPage “ensures that (landlords) are driving every possible opportunity to increase price even in the most downward trending or unexpected conditions.” The company also said in the documents that it “helps curb (landlords’) instincts to respond to down-market conditions by either dramatically lowering price or by holding price.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Providing rent guidance isn’t the only service RealPage has offered landlords. In 2020, \u003ca href=\"https://themarkup.org/locked-out/2020/05/28/access-denied-faulty-automated-background-checks-freeze-out-renters\">a Markup and \u003cem>New York Times\u003c/em> investigation\u003c/a> found that RealPage, alongside other companies, used faulty computer algorithms to do automated background checks on tenants. As a result, tenants were associated with criminal charges they never faced and denied homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Impact on tenants\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Thirty-one-year-old Navy veteran Alan Pickens and his wife move nearly every year, “Because the rent goes up, it gets unaffordable, so we look for a new place to stay,” he said. The northeastern San Diego apartment complex where they just relocated has two-bedroom apartments advertised for between $2,995 and $3,215.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They live in an area of San Diego where the U.S. Justice Department said information-sharing agreements between landlords and RealPage have harmed or are likely to harm renters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The department in August filed its antitrust lawsuit against RealPage, alleging the company, through its legacy YieldStar software, engaged in an “\u003ca href=\"https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-sues-realpage-algorithmic-pricing-scheme-harms-millions-american-renters\">unlawful scheme to decrease competition among landlords in apartment pricing.\u003c/a>” The complaint names specific areas where rents are artificially high. Beyond the part of San Diego where Pickens lives, those areas include South Orange County, Rancho Cucamonga, Temecula, and Murrieta and northeastern San Diego.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the second quarter of 2020, the average rent in San Diego County was $1,926, reflecting a 26% increase over three years, \u003ca href=\"https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/2023/09/11/san-diego-rents-are-cooling-off-heres-how-changes-break-down-by-area/#:~:text=In%20the%20second%20quarter%20of,was%20a%20few%20years%20ago.\">according to the \u003cem>San Diego Union-Tribune\u003c/em>\u003c/a>. Rents have since risen even more in the city of San Diego, to $2,336 per month as of November 2024 – up 21% from 2020, \u003ca href=\"https://www.rentcafe.com/average-rent-market-trends/us/ca/san-diego/\">according to RentCafe\u003c/a> and the \u003cem>Tribune\u003c/em>. That’s 50% higher than the national average rent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The attorneys general of eight states, including California, joined the Justice Department’s antitrust suit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Justice Department contends RealPage artificially inflated prices to keep them above a certain minimum level, department spokesperson Elissa Perez said. This was particularly harmful given the high cost of housing in the state, she added. “The illegally maintained profits that result from these price alignment schemes come out of the pockets of the people that can least afford it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Renters \u003ca href=\"https://www.ppic.org/blog/californias-renters/\">make up a larger share of households\u003c/a> in California than in the rest of the country — 44% here compared to 35% nationwide. The Golden State also has a higher percentage of renters than any state other than New York, according to the \u003ca href=\"https://data.census.gov/table/ACSST1Y2023.S1901?q=rent&g=010XX00US%240400000\">latest U.S. Census data\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Diego has the \u003ca href=\"https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/2024/11/07/a-city-of-renters-san-diego-has-fourth-highest-percentage-of-renters-in-the-u-s/\">fourth-highest percentage of renters of any major city in the nation\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">[aside label='More Housing Coverage' tag='housing']\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The recent ranks of California legislators, however, have included few renters: As of 2019, CalMatters could \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/politics/2019/04/california-legislature-lawmakers-who-are-landlords/\">find only one state lawmaker who did not own a home\u003c/a> — and found that more than a quarter of legislators at the time were landlords.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Studies show that rising rents impact low-income residents more heavily. Nationally, between 2000 and 2017, Americans without a college degree spent a higher percentage of their income on rent. That percentage ballooned from 30% to 42%. For college graduates, that percentage increased from 26% to 34%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In my estimation, the only winners in this situation are the richest companies who are either using this technology or creating this technology,” Elo-Rivera said. “There couldn’t be a more clear example of the rich getting richer while the rest of us are struggling to get by.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The state has invested in RealPage\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Private equity giant Thoma Bravo \u003ca href=\"https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1286225/000119312521011569/d52613dprem14a.htm\">acquired RealPage in January 2021\u003c/a> through two funds that have hundreds of millions of dollars in investments from California public pension funds, including the California Public Employees’ Retirement System, the California State Teachers’ Retirement System, the Regents of the University of California and the Los Angeles police and fire pension funds, according to the Private Equity Stakeholder Project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re invested in things that are directly hurting their pensioners,” said K Agbebiyi, a senior housing campaign coordinator with the Private Equity Stakeholder Project, a nonprofit private equity watchdog that \u003ca href=\"https://pestakeholder.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/PESP_Report_Helter_Shelter_2024.pdf\">produced a report about corporate landlords’\u003c/a> impact on rental hikes in San Diego.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>RealPage argues that landlords are free to reject the price recommendations generated by its software. However, the U.S. Justice Department alleges that trying to do so requires a series of steps, including a conversation with a RealPage pricing adviser. The advisers try to “stop property managers from acting on emotions,” according to the department’s lawsuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If a property manager disagrees with the price the algorithm suggests and wants to decrease rent rather than increase it, a pricing adviser will “escalate the dispute to the manager’s superior,” prosecutors allege in the suit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Diego, the Pickenses, who are expecting their first child, have given up their gym memberships and downsized their cars to remain in the area. They’ve considered moving to Denver.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All the extras pretty much have to go,” Pickens said. “I mean, we love San Diego, but it’s getting hard to live here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My wife is an attorney, and I served in the Navy for 10 years and now work at Qualcomm,” he said. “Why are we struggling?

Its product is called YieldStar, and its successor is AI Revenue Management, which uses much of the same codebase as YieldStar but has more precise forecasting. RealPage told CalMatters it serves only 10% of the rental markets in both San Francisco and San Diego across its three revenue management software products.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s how it works:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In order to use YieldStar and AIRM, landlords have historically provided RealPage with their own private data from their rental applications, rent prices, executed new leases, renewal offers and acceptances, and estimates of future occupancy, although a recent change allows landlords to choose to share only public data. This information from all participating landlords in an area is then pooled and run through mathematical forecasting to generate pricing recommendations for the landlords and their competitors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Diego council president, Sean Elo-Rivera, explained it like this:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In the simplest terms, what this platform is doing is providing what we think of as that dark, smoky room for big companies to get together and set prices,” he said. “The technology is being used as a way of keeping an arm’s length from one big company to the other. But that’s an illusion.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the company’s own words, from company documents included in the lawsuit, RealPage “ensures that (landlords) are driving every possible opportunity to increase price even in the most downward trending or unexpected conditions.” The company also said in the documents that it “helps curb (landlords’) instincts to respond to down-market conditions by either dramatically lowering price or by holding price.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Providing rent guidance isn’t the only service RealPage has offered landlords. In 2020, \u003ca href=\"https://themarkup.org/locked-out/2020/05/28/access-denied-faulty-automated-background-checks-freeze-out-renters\">a Markup and \u003cem>New York Times\u003c/em> investigation\u003c/a> found that RealPage, alongside other companies, used faulty computer algorithms to do automated background checks on tenants. As a result, tenants were associated with criminal charges they never faced and denied homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Impact on tenants\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Thirty-one-year-old Navy veteran Alan Pickens and his wife move nearly every year, “Because the rent goes up, it gets unaffordable, so we look for a new place to stay,” he said. The northeastern San Diego apartment complex where they just relocated has two-bedroom apartments advertised for between $2,995 and $3,215.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They live in an area of San Diego where the U.S. Justice Department said information-sharing agreements between landlords and RealPage have harmed or are likely to harm renters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The department in August filed its antitrust lawsuit against RealPage, alleging the company, through its legacy YieldStar software, engaged in an “\u003ca href=\"https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-sues-realpage-algorithmic-pricing-scheme-harms-millions-american-renters\">unlawful scheme to decrease competition among landlords in apartment pricing.\u003c/a>” The complaint names specific areas where rents are artificially high. Beyond the part of San Diego where Pickens lives, those areas include South Orange County, Rancho Cucamonga, Temecula, and Murrieta and northeastern San Diego.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the second quarter of 2020, the average rent in San Diego County was $1,926, reflecting a 26% increase over three years, \u003ca href=\"https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/2023/09/11/san-diego-rents-are-cooling-off-heres-how-changes-break-down-by-area/#:~:text=In%20the%20second%20quarter%20of,was%20a%20few%20years%20ago.\">according to the \u003cem>San Diego Union-Tribune\u003c/em>\u003c/a>. Rents have since risen even more in the city of San Diego, to $2,336 per month as of November 2024 – up 21% from 2020, \u003ca href=\"https://www.rentcafe.com/average-rent-market-trends/us/ca/san-diego/\">according to RentCafe\u003c/a> and the \u003cem>Tribune\u003c/em>. That’s 50% higher than the national average rent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The attorneys general of eight states, including California, joined the Justice Department’s antitrust suit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Justice Department contends RealPage artificially inflated prices to keep them above a certain minimum level, department spokesperson Elissa Perez said. This was particularly harmful given the high cost of housing in the state, she added. “The illegally maintained profits that result from these price alignment schemes come out of the pockets of the people that can least afford it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Renters \u003ca href=\"https://www.ppic.org/blog/californias-renters/\">make up a larger share of households\u003c/a> in California than in the rest of the country — 44% here compared to 35% nationwide. The Golden State also has a higher percentage of renters than any state other than New York, according to the \u003ca href=\"https://data.census.gov/table/ACSST1Y2023.S1901?q=rent&g=010XX00US%240400000\">latest U.S. Census data\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Diego has the \u003ca href=\"https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/2024/11/07/a-city-of-renters-san-diego-has-fourth-highest-percentage-of-renters-in-the-u-s/\">fourth-highest percentage of renters of any major city in the nation\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

For college graduates, that percentage increased from 26% to 34%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In my estimation, the only winners in this situation are the richest companies who are either using this technology or creating this technology,” Elo-Rivera said. “There couldn’t be a more clear example of the rich getting richer while the rest of us are struggling to get by.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The state has invested in RealPage\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Private equity giant Thoma Bravo \u003ca href=\"https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1286225/000119312521011569/d52613dprem14a.htm\">acquired RealPage in January 2021\u003c/a> through two funds that have hundreds of millions of dollars in investments from California public pension funds, including the California Public Employees’ Retirement System, the California State Teachers’ Retirement System, the Regents of the University of California and the Los Angeles police and fire pension funds, according to the Private Equity Stakeholder Project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re invested in things that are directly hurting their pensioners,” said K Agbebiyi, a senior housing campaign coordinator with the Private Equity Stakeholder Project, a nonprofit private equity watchdog that \u003ca href=\"https://pestakeholder.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/PESP_Report_Helter_Shelter_2024.pdf\">produced a report about corporate landlords’\u003c/a> impact on rental hikes in San Diego.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>RealPage argues that landlords are free to reject the price recommendations generated by its software. However, the U.S. Justice Department alleges that trying to do so requires a series of steps, including a conversation with a RealPage pricing adviser. The advisers try to “stop property managers from acting on emotions,” according to the department’s lawsuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If a property manager disagrees with the price the algorithm suggests and wants to decrease rent rather than increase it, a pricing adviser will “escalate the dispute to the manager’s superior,” prosecutors allege in the suit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Diego, the Pickenses, who are expecting their first child, have given up their gym memberships and downsized their cars to remain in the area.

He has also appeared on Fox News multiple times to trash San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He and others say they share their content in the name of exposing the issues the city faces and putting pressure on elected officials to do better.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a way to get the information out, to make sure the public is aware this is what’s happening,” said Erica Sandberg, a consumer finance reporter who shares similar content \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/EricaJSandberg\">with her 20,000 followers\u003c/a> on the social media platform. “This is what we see. This is what people are experiencing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But advocates who work in the Tenderloin aren’t sure the videos do much but hurt the people in them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mike Discepola, the director of health services at social service nonprofit GLIDE, said that even if some of these social media users have good intentions, their content can have negative effects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s unkind to violate people’s privacy and show them in conditions that may not be at their best, where they may be struggling, and obviously, it has impact on people’s ability to feel good about themselves,” he told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People living on the streets often feel vilified or judged, which only causes them to turn away from services or support, Discepola said, adding that this kind of content can perpetuate that cycle.[aside postID=news_11910500 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/04/RS54979_010_KQED_TraceyHeltonMitchell_04052022-qut.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sandberg, who also appeared on Fox earlier this year, said she doesn’t like accounts that have a “salacious” slant. When the content is aimed at getting attention from elected officials and holding their feet to the fire, though? “Brilliant,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What started me many years ago on this path was that I wasn’t seeing in the media the truth,” she said. “It was always, ‘We’re doing better,’ and nothing was making sense. Two plus two was not equaling four. So it was really important to me to get that information out in a way that I found to be accurate and respectful.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She’s praised Wynne and other accounts like “bettersoma” and “jj smith” for their posts, which display similarly controversial content. Adam Mesnick, who owns Deli Board and runs @bettersoma, declined to be interviewed by KQED, saying the backlash he receives for his content is too impactful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both Mesnick and the man known as “jj smith” share photos of people using drugs, passed out on city streets, receiving overdose-reversing care, and even deceased. Mesnick also checks to see if people who look unconscious are breathing and has called 911 to get them help, he told \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/food/restaurants/article/deli-board-better-soma-twitter-18166543.php\">the \u003cem>San Francisco Chronicle\u003c/em>\u003c/a> in 2023. When he’s out photographing, he carries Narcan, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Discepola agrees that there can be value in showing the conditions of the streets — but a better way to do it might be to humanize those being photographed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/hwilliamsjrphoto/\">Harry Williams\u003c/a>, a photographer who started a project photographing the corner of Ellis and Jones streets in the Tenderloin, has done that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I photograph the people that I meet, the random people that kind of come through there, but also just like the day-to-day kind of things that happen,” he said. “There are people who are homeless, and there are people using drugs, and sometimes that’s going on when I’m there and I’m capturing it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But his images also capture more human elements of people who live in the Tenderloin. One shows four people sitting around — in wheelchairs and on overturned five-gallon buckets — deep in conversation and laughing. Another shows a woman gazing down at an older man lying next to a shopping cart stuffed with his clothes and personal belongings. Littered needles and tinfoil are in the background of many of the images.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wanted to show like, ‘This is a reality that a family who lives there might be walking by every day,’ but not in their face,” Williams told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He believes the biggest difference between his work and the man-on-the-street style videos that go viral on social media is the relationship he’s formed with the people he photographs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Almost daily, people living in nearby single-room occupancy housing or who are unhoused in the Tenderloin will gather on Ellis and Jones. Williams, who plasters his portraits onto a rotating collage on the corner building there, often joins.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When he photographs someone, he’ll bring them a copy of the image. He’s gained the trust of people who at first refused to be photographed or yelled at him to leave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of the people have said to me once I put their images on the wall … ‘Now when people come through here and try to snap pictures of us, they see beautiful pictures of us on the wall and we’re larger than life,’” Williams said. “‘They’re looking up at us now and not looking down at us.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

In it, he \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/RawRicci415/status/1607859438001717248?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1607859438001717248%7Ctwgr%5E3106d2d842eb07d6964e932e3670ca0f50e9bc83%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fsfstandard.com%2F2022%2F12%2F29%2Fanti-drug-activist-skips-through-tenderloin-homeless-encampment-trolling-sf-in-mr-rogers-parody%2F\">skips through a homeless encampment\u003c/a> in the Tenderloin, smiling and panning the camera to tents and tarp structures scattered on the sidewalks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, he has become known for his videos of people passed out on the streets, in the depths of mental health episodes, or selling drugs. He has also appeared on Fox News multiple times to trash San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He and others say they share their content in the name of exposing the issues the city faces and putting pressure on elected officials to do better.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a way to get the information out, to make sure the public is aware this is what’s happening,” said Erica Sandberg, a consumer finance reporter who shares similar content \u003ca href=\"https://x.com/EricaJSandberg\">with her 20,000 followers\u003c/a> on the social media platform. “This is what we see. This is what people are experiencing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But advocates who work in the Tenderloin aren’t sure the videos do much but hurt the people in them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mike Discepola, the director of health services at social service nonprofit GLIDE, said that even if some of these social media users have good intentions, their content can have negative effects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s unkind to violate people’s privacy and show them in conditions that may not be at their best, where they may be struggling, and obviously, it has impact on people’s ability to feel good about themselves,” he told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People living on the streets often feel vilified or judged, which only causes them to turn away from services or support, Discepola said, adding that this kind of content can perpetuate that cycle.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

When the content is aimed at getting attention from elected officials and holding their feet to the fire, though? “Brilliant,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What started me many years ago on this path was that I wasn’t seeing in the media the truth,” she said. “It was always, ‘We’re doing better,’ and nothing was making sense. Two plus two was not equaling four. So it was really important to me to get that information out in a way that I found to be accurate and respectful.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She’s praised Wynne and other accounts like “bettersoma” and “jj smith” for their posts, which display similarly controversial content. Adam Mesnick, who owns Deli Board and runs @bettersoma, declined to be interviewed by KQED, saying the backlash he receives for his content is too impactful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both Mesnick and the man known as “jj smith” share photos of people using drugs, passed out on city streets, receiving overdose-reversing care, and even deceased. Mesnick also checks to see if people who look unconscious are breathing and has called 911 to get them help, he told \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/food/restaurants/article/deli-board-better-soma-twitter-18166543.php\">the \u003cem>San Francisco Chronicle\u003c/em>\u003c/a> in 2023. When he’s out photographing, he carries Narcan, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Discepola agrees that there can be value in showing the conditions of the streets — but a better way to do it might be to humanize those being photographed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/hwilliamsjrphoto/\">Harry Williams\u003c/a>, a photographer who started a project photographing the corner of Ellis and Jones streets in the Tenderloin, has done that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I photograph the people that I meet, the random people that kind of come through there, but also just like the day-to-day kind of things that happen,” he said. “There are people who are homeless, and there are people using drugs, and sometimes that’s going on when I’m there and I’m capturing it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But his images also capture more human elements of people who live in the Tenderloin. One shows four people sitting around — in wheelchairs and on overturned five-gallon buckets — deep in conversation and laughing. Another shows a woman gazing down at an older man lying next to a shopping cart stuffed with his clothes and personal belongings. Littered needles and tinfoil are in the background of many of the images.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wanted to show like, ‘This is a reality that a family who lives there might be walking by every day,’ but not in their face,” Williams told KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He believes the biggest difference between his work and the man-on-the-street style videos that go viral on social media is the relationship he’s formed with the people he photographs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Almost daily, people living in nearby single-room occupancy housing or who are unhoused in the Tenderloin will gather on Ellis and Jones. Williams, who plasters his portraits onto a rotating collage on the corner building there, often joins.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When he photographs someone, he’ll bring them a copy of the image. He’s gained the trust of people who at first refused to be photographed or yelled at him to leave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of the people have said to me once I put their images on the wall … ‘Now when people come through here and try to snap pictures of us, they see beautiful pictures of us on the wall and we’re larger than life,’” Williams said. “‘They’re looking up at us now and not looking down at us.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
