Shop around and see what others are offering. I believe your anecdote, and I've also seen several other anecdotes about how rents have dropped - someone said as much as $1k. I'm sure it's a big mix right now.

I would argue this has more or less been the case for most of history, in a different form. It used to be that most people died young. If your genes weren't strong enough, disease would've knocked you out before you became a teena
