Cities are down or flat - and flat is down since the population in general is still growing. Also not all cities are the same - no way would I classify Phoenix anywhere the same as LA, SF, NYC, Chicago, etc. - totally different structure. Dense cities suck and people continue to vote with their feet.

That data is from two years ago! I'm describing what's happened since then, which is a stark reversal in a number of major US cities. If people are fleeing these cities, why are there countless situations in which a single rental unit gets 100+ applications, a bidding war breaks out and ultimately it goes far over asking rent? You don't like cities, that's fine, but it doesn't mean cities "suck". Different people have different preferences, do you understand this?
