In big cities like SF and NYC a majority of people are on the summer lease cycle. Every summer you either have to renew the same tired old place for a 2-5% increase, or you jump to a new landlord and spend promotion/bonus/raise in a modern new building.
The past 2 months the streets in my NYC neighborhood have been littered with moving vans and my floor has all but emptied out.

This has included everything from people renting an hour-plus out of the city or even moving to rural areas hours away.
