DC is a town that rotates a portion of its population every election cycle. There is likely a lot of corporate money that has flowed in to buy units as they traditionally transition from one party in power to another.

Is it a trend nationally? Are the landlords corporate entities? Is this a temporary affect of covid where people want to move out of cities - at least temporarily to get to less densely populated areas?

Those are the answers I'd like to see.
