[quote=DWCAP]FSD, just because SD housing has been falling faster/earlier than LA, doesn’t mean that it will be a direct correlation to rental movements. Population characteristics and the underlying changes in them could easily account for the delay in SD rentals being behind LA rentals. I am not saying you are wrong, I am not saying that we will have the same here in LA. I am saying that they dont have to follow one another in perfect harmony. [/quote]

I was just wondering out loud by what mechanism the OP thinks that SD rental market will follow LA’s.

I couldn’t think of any other than both are affected by the overall sucky economy.
