My rent has increased about 10% over the past decade... And I live in neighborhood that pretty rapidly gentrified ~6 years ago. Yours doubled? Really?

My rent increased by a whole $50 a month from 2009-2016 and I moved once during that time period. I own a house since 2016.

I just looked up the current rent on the apartment complex I lived in from 2005-2009 in another part of the country. My rent didn't increase in those 4 years I lived there and the current rent is basically the same I was paying back then when you take into consideration CPI inflation.

Two data points, for what its worth.
