Press release from Apartment List:
With only two months left in 2022, renters will get some welcomed relief. After a year and a half of record-setting rent hikes, the market appears to be turning a corner. The national median rent decreased by 0.7% in October, the second straight monthly decline and the largest single-month dip in the history of our index, going back to 2017. The cooldown is widespread, with rents down this month in 89 of the nation’s 100 largest cities.

Example of the BS this town allows to happen on the daily… house built a hundred years ago, interior almost as old. No dishwasher, no modern conveniences, doorways no wheelchair will possibly fit through. Drafty, moldy, “bad neighborhood”. Rent? Nearly $2000 per month. Some people sleep under bridges because they cannot afford RENT. In the richest country in the world. What a horrific species we have become.
