There's a limit to how low landlords can/will drop prices, some have even raised them in line with the peculiar logic that because their income has dropped from having fewer guests they need to raise prices to recover their losses. Some restaurants, bars and other businesses have done the same too...

frogblogger,
Their idiot cousins must run our US government. The politicians and bankers have crashed the economy due to greed and speculation by the huge mega-banks and Wall Street, the market tanks and THEY are bailed out by our corrupt government. Guess who pays the bill for their greed and stupidity [or cunning] Yep, the good old taxpayers get to make THEM whole again. Guess who owns the USofA. So much for "We the people...." anymore they are just words on an old piece of paper. They don't believe in our constitution or this country. It's about money and power - regardless of how its gained. What this country needs is not a good $0.05 cigar but a 'new' revolution - like the French revolution - complete with Madam Guillotine.
