While rent in much of the rest of the United States is starting to go down slightly, here in San Diego we are seeing record highs. A recent study by CoStar, which tracks the real estate market, shows that rent in San Diego has jumped in the past year by 3.4%, now just over $2400 a month. This was the largest increase in California, with rents in Los Angles up 1% and in San Francisco down by half a percent. "It has gone up... every year it goes up a significant amount!," said Priscilla Morales. She and her husband rent a two-bedroom in Chula Vista, where rent has jumped by about 6.5 percent over last year, according to CoStar. The Morales' $2300 rent keeps climbing year after year. "Not just $50 or $75 -- more like $100 or $150," she told CBS 8. This means that they are forced to save wherever they can, especially with inflation also rising.
