My immediate neigborhood, with quite a few empty appartments?!
Even the service workers asked to install the mandated smoke detectors were commenting about this, since they can't access quite a few of appartments even during COVID's stay at home policies.
There is no offical data on this, since it's illegal to keep them vacant for more than 3 months. So they are under "maintenance" or the like.
In San Francisco, there are plenty of people who have the same anecdotes as you, but their story falls apart when you look at the numbers. Yours may as well.
