Jay Parsons points out that rent growth in the city of San Francisco only turned positive in the second half of 2024, with more significant increases appearing in 2025.
Parsons attributes this turnaround primarily to substantial improvements in the quality of life in the city following over three years of rent cuts.
Earlier this year, Jay Parsons reported that Brin sold his stake in New York City rent stabilized apartments for six cents on the dollar, indicating a significant loss for the investor (full story). Parsons has also argued that LIHTC projects at 60 percent AMI can assist low-income renters, noting that actual rents may be lower than program limits (more here). These previous observations come as attention shifts to the factors driving the recent rent recovery in San Francisco.
