Hmmm, that makes sense, people are leaving the cities (very insecure, no police). So people are drawn to villages and beautiful places. In the US you can leave your own home by giving the keys to the bank, so the most flexible housing market. Vacancies in large cities have increased. Cities are really poor. But there is another argument, namely Joe Biden’s free checks (U $ 300 per week).
Those checks are tentative, but Americans believe that tentative is a reconsideration.
Joe Biden will continue to support the community organization for many years to come, so buy, buy, buy.
