That's some hand-waving. Like what's the typical margin of error on annual census estimates? Is it safe to say that the city lost residents this year, as opposed to gaining residents? Also, rental vacancy seems like such an indirect metric in regard to city population. Rental vacancy could mean a variety of things-- smaller household sizes, less total rentals on the market, etc.

I'm convinced most people are incapable of comprehending nuanced language. Here's what he said regarding 75bps rate hikes in March 22:

"A 75 basis point increase is not something that the committee is actively considering."

And here's what he said about raising the target inflation rate:

"We're not considering that. We're not going to consider that. Under any circumstances. We're going to keep our inflation target at 2%. We're going to use our tools to get inflation back to 2%."

So, you see how the first statement wasn't a dismissal of 75bps rate hikes? But rather a statement about what's been presently considered? There's a lot less nuance in the second statement.
