@Norman BermanYikes, California is a tough real estate market.

Knowledge workers – Usually the millennials who kept their jobs despite the pandemic and are able to work from home – are the segment who mainly drives the increase in the “Zoom” destinations.

I think it would be tough to be in student housing right now.
