📈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%

-vacancy rate: 空屋率
-vacancy: 空缺、空位

🏠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.
舊金山為全美最昂貴的租屋市場，但隨著該市引以為傲的科技公司開始裁員以及越來越多的租客離去，導致房地產價格大幅下跌。

-tumble: (價值) 暴跌
-vaunted: 被誇耀的、誇大其辭的
-shed: 去除、擺脫
-tenant: 租客

🏡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

The Highland Towers collapse was an apartment building collapse that occurred following a major landslide on 11 December 1993 in Taman Hillview, Ulu Klang, in Selangor, Malaysia. The collapse of the Highland Towers' Block resulted in 48 deaths. Residents and others were evacuated from the other two blocks due to safety concerns.

At the time of the collapse, the Highland Towers complex consisted of three similar 13-story blocks, built in phases between 1974 and 1982. They were made at the western base of a steeply sloped hill, terraced extensively in the early 1980s. Block 1 was the southernmost building; Block 2 was built north-northwest of it, and Block 3 was built west of Block 2. These towers were home to affluent middle-class families; a sizeable percentage of the residents were expatriates.

After ten consecutive days of rainfall, a landslide destroyed the retaining wall behind the first block's car park.

Tragedi Highland Towers merupakan tragedi runtuhan 1 daripada 3 blok kondominium di Taman Hillview, Ulu Klang, Selangor, pada 11 Disember 1993. Tragedi tersebut adalah satu-satunya tragedi bangunan runtuh yang pertama dan terburuk setelah Malaysia mencapai kemerdekaan. Seramai 48 orang terkorban dalam tragedi yang menyayat hati ini. Highland Towers merupakan tiga blok pangsapuri 12 tingkat yang dinamakan Blok 1, Blok 2 dan Blok 3. Setakat tahun 2019, dua bangunan ini dalam proses perobohan.

Highland Towers terdiri daripada tiga blok 12 tingkat, dibina secara berperingkat antara tahun 1974 dan 1982 di pangkalan barat bukit curam yang kemudiannya teres meluas pada awal 1980an. Setiap blok telah masing-masing bernama:

Blok 1 (dibina 1977, paling selatan)

Blok 2 (dibina 1979, utara-barat laut blok 1, sedikit tinggi daripada dua yang lain, lebih dekat masuk ke bukit)

Blok 3 (dibina 1981, barat laut blok 1, barat blok 2).

Sebuah kolam renang terletak di antara barat laut Blok 2 dan timur laut belakang Blok 3. Blok 1 runtuh selepas 10 hari hujan berterusan membawa kepada tanah runtuh selepas tembok penahan di belakang tempat letak kereta Menara gagal.

Menara-menara adalah rumah kepada keluarga kelas pertengahan mewah; peratusan besar penduduk adalah ekspatriat. Highland Towers terkenal pada 1980-an dan awal 1990-an untuk menjadi tempat yang popular untuk orang-orang kaya untuk menyembunyikan perempuan-perempuan simpanan mereka.
