i'm happy to see the empty apartments where i live; it means that it helps drive down the cost of rent and it's working, somewhat.

    I’m guessing they’re empty because they can’t be rented, and not because they aren’t for rent.

    it's partially because there's no one to rent it. the locals tell me that it's trending towards the same patterns that i've experienced in other cities; but it still affordable compared to the cities i've lived in texas, new jersey and georgia and despite it being the 3rd largest city in the country and COMPLETELY outclassing those other cities in terms of quality of life and public services. (for now).
