Doubling annually probably happens rarely enough you can ignore it. Where I live now, though, in a medium-sized Pacific NW city, rents in various of my friends and relations buildings/complexes have seen increases 50% in four years.

That's still pretty bad, and I know several people myself who were forced out due to rising rents becoming unaffordable.

That kind of disruption to people's lives doesn't make the kind of society I want to live in.
