Lots of people left SV due to remote jobs and COVID, demand dropped, price went down. It may have worked for him, but rents have still increased in the South Bay over the last couple years-- just less so than the rest of the country. It's still one of the most expensive rental markets. Vacancy rates have fallen, too. Only SF itself has lower rents than it had before COVID-19 (and fractionally so).
