Rental demand sucks because there was literally no influx of young people to cities this year. Urban rental markets depend on annual influx of college/grad students/immigrants. But this has nothing to do with core Chicago's long-term prospects. Becky and Chad aren't living in Mommy's basement forever.

That plays a big role, but you’re also in denial of a bigger issue. Work from home.
