> Rents for the poor are rising

Because of the economical impact of locking down the economy and giving money to everyone.

Because they don't need to live in expensive central hubs to get their high wages and there is less demand for their luxury flats.

Also, this lax definition of rich people is exactly how the richest 1% can stay hidden.
