I think there will be a tremendous political opportunity in the next 6 months to capitalize on rage in cities against new tech wealth driving up housing costs.
Housing prices aren't going up. They peaked in late 2022. Boomers are a huge generation, with homes millennials and Gen Z can't afford to buy. And they are smaller generations.
Not for apartments / condos in Seattle. I looked today on Zillow and lots of apartment rentals advertised 2 weeks or 1 month free rent. Lets see what happens.
I just poked around in your reference and every county I looked at in california is near all-time highs (higher than or equal to 2022) except for the northern nowheresville counties.
