Intense competition for places to live is driving rents up and up, but is there hope for change?

I had no idea this was going on.

    Some people would rather earn no money than some money. It’s weird and what happens commonly in Buenos Aires. I think it might be the sunk cost fallacy.

      For investment property, the rent determines how much you can borrow against the property.

      Long term it’s sometimes better to leave empty for a while than take the valuation hit.

        Is “a while” 5 - 10 years? We’re not talking about leaving it open for a season, but rather for years and years on end.
