I wonder how the illegal immigrant, I’m sorry—undocumented migrant population increases in Queens, NY and Phoenix, AZ relate to this rental inflation?

More lies I been looking in Zillo prices in Ridgewood, Maspeth, Glendale have sunk and there are many apartments available. . The only places I know of that went up in Queens are the towers in LIC, and all the homes Corona from 91st to Flushing Meadow.
Why all the bullshit stats recently ?

I don't know where the mayor plans on placing these illegal's.
The hipsters are pricing them out quickly all along the 7 train from Broadway out to 111st.
The bodegas have even started selling, vap crap, fancy beer, CBD oils and hipster crap.

First of all, all the "Deal" rags get fake stats.
I was badly embarrassed a decade ago trusting them.
Then, if you don' count illegal apartments, how can your average be realistic?
