As much as I like the narrative of "yay, inflation is over and we're seeing deflation", isn't it pretty hard to ignore that San Francisco's high cost of living + homelessness problem has caught up to it from the perspective of "desirable place to live" factor?

If I am wrong/that narrative that's spread all over online isn't true, I'd love to learn why the rent falling here suggests something different/is actually due to something different. Otherwise it seems like a pretty simple (boring, stupid) headline/problem/observation?

"City that isn't that desirable to live in due to terrible flaw becomes less valuable"

Maybe I should be a journalist...
