    This article is confusing at is uses the terms “vacancy rates” and “empty homes” the wording is very murky if they are attempting to compare rental versus home ownership. Even AI doesn’t usually write like this.

        They do mention vacation homes. But the way they throw around all of these various terms is confusing and sloppy.

        I was legit curious about this article, but even with them including actual data, it’s still not clear or easy to draw any conclusions.

            The Fox affiliate in The SF Bay Area (KTVU 2) certainly does not push the same narrative as the cable channel Fox News. I assume that will be true for many other metro areas (like Los Angeles) where a large percentage of the voters are not conservative. If they did this, nobody would watch their local news, and possibly not watch the channel in general, which would make it not profitable to sell ads.
