Where Rent Is Highest

With more people moving back into cities, rents there are rising.

Key details
The median rent in the U.S. has increased by 17.6% since 2021, a record high according to Apartment List. In August, the median rental price was $2,000.

Rent everywhere is getting higher, but New York tops the list. Here are the top 10 most expensive cities…

  1. New York – $3,930
  2. San Francisco – $3,040
  3. San Jose, California – $2,780
  4. Boston – $2,730
  5. San Diego – $2,580
  6. Miami  – $2,520
  7. Los Angeles  – $2,450
  8. Washington, D.C. – $2,370
  9. Oakland – $2,200
  10. Santa Ana, California – $2,160

Why it’s news
During the pandemic, suburban rentals were more popular due to workers moving out of cities, able to work remotely. Now that has reversed and urban rentals are growing at a faster pace. Studio rentals are more popular than one- and two-bedroom rentals, according to Realtor.com. 

Renters are certainly feeling the strain with 60% of survey respondents telling Realtor.com that higher rent was causing financial strain. 

Additionally, current renters have had their rental rate increased. Over the last year, 60% of renters got an increase in their monthly rent, according to a survey by Freddie Mac.

Some 2,000 Americans participated in the survey, which ended in June. One third of respondents saw an increase of more than 10%. 

Of landlords who participated in the Realtor.com survey, 72% plan to increase the rent on their properties over the next year. 

It’s expensive to buy and expensive to rent, leaving many feeling stuck, but the housing market may be slowing down somewhat. 

Surprising statistics
Here is the list of cities with the lowest rents…

  1. Akron, Ohio – $650
  2. Wichita, Kansas – $690
  3. Lubbock, Texas – $720
  4. Shreveport, Louisiana – $740
  5. Lexington, Kentucky – $810
  6. Oklahoma City – $850
  7. Laredo, Texas – $850
  8. Des Moines, Iowa –  $880
  9. Syracuse, New York – $880
  10. El Paso, Texas – $880

Twitter Files And Fake Russian Collusion

Watts

Twitter’s Trust and Safety team discovered a scandal surrounding a think tank’s attempt to label American citizens falsely as Russian bots and spread paranoia about Russian influence—but said nothing.  

Key Details

  • Independent journalist Matt Taibbi, working with Twitter CEO Elon Musk and other journalists like Bari Weiss and Lee Fang, released the 15th official part of the Twitter Files on Friday, January 27. 
  • The newest part reveals that a think tank’s project, Hamilton 68, involved creating a list of supposed Russian bots and using it to propagate fears of Russian collusion. The list was primarily comprised of average American citizens. Twitter saw through the claims but never said anything about it publicly.  
  • “The Hamilton 68 dashboard was a high-level scam to falsely accuse Russian influence behind everything. Their entire opaque system was a fraud, and virtually every media outlet fell for it. Everyone from the New York Times to Mother Jones should post a correction,” says Fang. 
  • “Shame on MSNBC for misleading the public!” tweeted Elon Musk.

news from tiktok

A news media startup is looking to gain traction on TikTok and establish itself as the social-media site’s newsroom. 

Key Details

  • Former BBC and News Corp. executives have formed The News Movement, a video news organization. 
  • The company is looking to acquire The Recount, a social media startup on TikTok that garnered millions of views but could not create revenue successfully. 
  • Media companies have used social-media sites in the past to build up their platforms successfully, but a media company has yet to do so on TikTok. 
  • Companies that have used social media to build their brand now struggle as sites like Facebook begin to decline—making investors hesitant to repeat past mistakes. 
  • However, The News Movement CEO Will Lewis thinks he can build a different media company.
  • Rather than focusing on subscriptions or advertising, The News Movement is working to establish itself as a content studio and social media agency. 
  • Already Lewis and editor-in-chief Kamal Ahmed have raised $15 million.

Mark Cuban Predicts the Next Crypto Scandal

Cuban

Billionaire investor Mark Cuban says that the next big crypto scandal will be the discovery and removal of “wash trading,” meaning that more than half of crypto transactions are illegal. 

Key Details

  • Cryptocurrency investors are entering this year hoping for a better year than the previous one, which saw multiple scandals, collapses, crashes, and the overall decline of crypto and NFT markets. 
  • But investors may not yet be out of the woods. Popular investor Mark Cuban tells The Street that the proliferation of “wash trading,” a form of illegal market manipulation, is making it a matter of time before the next major scandal rocks cryptocurrency. 
  • "I think the next possible implosion is the discovery and removal of wash trades on central exchanges. There are supposedly tens of millions of dollars in trades and liquidity for tokens that have very little utilization. I don't see how they can be that liquid," says Cuban. 
  • An August 2022 Forbes analysis found that “more than half of all reported trading volume is likely to be fake or non-economic."
