The Marquette Advisors report already indicates a short drop in rent. I predict rent will fall further. The Marquette Advisors report is avail to those willing to pay for it. The future is crystal ball gazing. I feel very confident in my predictions.
Waiting for data is good for the historians. The government never has that kind of time. Government treats money like it's burning a whole in their pocket. There are many deserving projects. Waiting around for data to confirm what we know to be true, serves poorly those in needs.
