just because there is no collusion doesn't mean that the de facto result will be that a group can't find housing in an area. My grandmother (about 20 years ago) owned two apartment buildings in West Hartford CT. and her buildings were mostly black. I asked about this and she said that none of the other rentals in the area would rent to blacks, which allowed her to charge more and not discriminate. So the result was that the Blacks who wanted to live in that neighborhood had to pay 20% more than the whites. It wasn't collusion, it was just that there were a lot of racist building owners.
West Hartford is the most charming part of Insuranceville, USA.
