If there was enough supply, they absolutely would.

It sure sounds like you've never rented. This is, in the vast majority of cases, not reality.
- Manuel_D 2y agoExactly: prices are rising because there isn't enough supply to satisfy demand. I have, in fact, rented in San Francisco. I rented from a small landlord in a building that had no A/C, no package room, no parking. I had to fix my refrigerator and shower mixer myself because she barely spoke English. But it was a cheap apartment! I also rented from a corporate landlord. It had a lot of amenities like a gym, a package room, and parking. But I paid a lot more for that apartment.
