Explain to me how you define “gouging”. Please.
Basing it on the second chart. If I’m not mistaken, San Francisco is in California as well. All three cities tracked nearly the same, until July, which is high travel month in So Cal, as all the Bros like to take their toys and race around at The Dunes in the desert. Lived there for 10 years in San Diego 97-07, same thing happened then too. Gouging.
