Not to forget the rising cost of everything else. The value of my house in Arizona went up 29% in the last 12 mo. That translates into higher rents. There are a growing number of people out there who simply cannot afford their rent increases. But things are so bad in Cali, Wash. and Ore. that there are people lined up willing to pay Arizona rental rates. That's kind of an off topic and extreme example but back here just rising food and energy costs are forcing people to rethink those discretionary expenditures.
