📈City’s vacancy rate rose to 6.2% in May, up from 3.9% only three months ago
市區的空屋率從僅僅三個月前的3.9%，在五月攀升至6.2%

🏠Rents in San Francisco, the most expensive apartment market in the U.S., are tumbling as the city’s vaunted tech sector sheds jobs and more tenants leave the city.

🏡The apartment vacancy rate in San Francisco rose to 6.2% in May, according to apartment data firm RealPage. That’s up from 3.9% only three months ago, after stay-at-home orders went into effect and more people in the city decided not to renew their leases.
房產數據公司RealPage的資料顯示，在限制外出的命令生效後，更多的人決定不再續簽租約，舊金山的空屋率因此在五月上升到了6.2%，三個月前為3.9%。
-went in to effect: （動詞片語）生效
-lease: 租約，動詞為出租
📉San Francisco’s median rent in May for a one-bedroom apartment was also down 9.2% compared with a year ago at $3,360 a month, according to listings platform Zumper. That was still the highest monthly rent of all major U.S. markets, Zumper said, and a reminder of how steeply rents in the city climbed before their more recent descent.
根據租屋網Zumper的數據，舊金山五月份一房的公寓租金中位數為每月3360美元，較去年同期下降了9.2%。Zumper表示這依然是全美各主要租屋市場中最高的月租金，提醒了人們在這次的下跌之前房租曾有多高。（一房的租金每月要價十萬台幣！）
-median: 居中的，中位數的
-listing platform: 一種廣告發佈平台，此處的Zumper就很像台灣的591
-steeply: 陡峭地
