    Its all about population. If San Diego experienced something like detroit is experiencing now, where whole sections of the city were abandonded and deteriorating then sure, rent could decline fast and for a long time.

    So the question is what do you think population will do. It is a pretty safe bet that housing and rents will move in the same direction as population, even if not in the same maginitude.

    Since you asked there are plenty of cases where renting is cheaper than buying. Here are some examples :

    1. Renting a seat on an airplane is much cheaper than buying the aircraft for all my trips.

    2. Renting a car when I travel is cheaper than buying one. (Same with the hotel room, etc)

    3. My tux for my Junior prom.

    4. Rent for the hall where we had our wedding reception was cheaper than buying it.

    5. My company’s lease (so far after 5 years) is much less expensive than purchasing a similar building.

    6. I rented an RV several times. Cheaper than buying.

    7. We take a boat to Catalina at least a couple times a year. Renting one is cheaper than buying.

    8. U-haul truck.

    9. Internet access.

    10. Movies on DVD.

    Keep in mind that the biggest demographic in our country is transitioning into net consumers from net producers. This will have a profound effect on our macro economics for the next few decades. Add to this that global wage arbitration is gaining every year. Oh, and we seem to be going through debt deflation at the same time. If ever there was a time for downward pressure on price movement, I think this is it.
