People are having to rent versus the desire to buy. For growing cities like washington, d. C. An increase in affluent Young Professionals is driving up prices. You have more millennials coming into the area. The jobs are here. So that the demand for hire quality apartment brings a higher cost to living here. Washington, d. C. Is the fourth expensive city, and the city has swelled by 25 in the last ten years.
