This is the average?? Does anyone else find this to be…just wildly inaccurate? I know prices have gone up, but not this much.
Not surprising. Landlords were left out to dry when Democrats had rent freezes for an eternity. Now it is payback time. Democrats will bemoan yet another, housing crisis without accepting any of the blame for their role in this madness. Keep voting Democrat! it’s working!
That’s…….not how rental market dynamics work.
Right magically rents skyrocket when there are no offices open in the city! Landlords didn’t get paid for years they are getting theirs. It’s called price gouging but you must be a real estate broker or a sap. Keep voting Democrat hopefully you won’t get mugged at the ballot box
