I can’t speak to San Diego, but if anyone is interested, rents in the Inland Empire have definitely increased. 3 years ago I could have rented nice apartment or condo for under $1000. Now, it is nigh impossible to find one for under $1400. Our rent has increased by at least 10% every year, and it’s not just our property mgmt co. being greedy- all the other apt complexes are comparable.

So in the IE at least, rent is still increasing. 🙁
