It doesn't have to be a competition. If you're having trouble deciphering which is which, their interests might just be aligned.

On this thread you can tell if somebody is lobbying hard for people who need homes because they bring up realpage or public housing and get BURIED in downvotes: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44750927

The only solution that will make a difference, apparently, is relieving the private sector of onerous regulations which impact their profit margins shrug.

I thought neoliberalism was going out of fashion but apparently not.
