This isnt true. Covid caused a sharp drop. Before that the housing crash in 2008 did as well.

The problem is that rent only went down on cataclysm. Otherwise, it just goes up.

The further problem is that it likely wont go down much on cataclysm anymore, as investment firms snap up cheap housing and use third parties algorithms to do rent price fixing.
