Paragon Real Estate, a San Francisco real estate(房地产) company, has calculated that the median housing price in the city has risen $205，000 since the end of 2017, the highest six－month gain in at least a quarter century. On a percentage basis, the median home price in San Francisco rose 14.5% over the past year to $1.6 million. That’s more than double the 7.2% rise in 2017, but not as high as the 26.1% rise in housing prices in 2000, during the peak of the bubble. It’s also below the 20% rise in 2007, just before the housing market crashed. San Francisco may offer an extreme example of rising home prices, but it also reflects a broader trend in the U．S. The average home price in U．S. stands at around $260，000, after having risen for the past six years, Paragon said. Homebuyers who can’t afford such inflationary(通货膨胀引起的) housing prices might consider buying an apartment. The median price for San Francisco apartments rose by $71，000 in the first half of 2018, a comparative bargain. Paragon said that a sudden increase in both the asking prices for homes and the bids being placed by buyers, coupled with a multi－year decline in the number of homes listed for sale, have contributed to the sudden increase in prices. Housing activists in the Bay Area have grown more outspoken in calling for more available housing in the region. There are signs that the affordable－housing problems that many residents in San Francisco struggle with are recurring in other cities, even if at a smaller scale. Home prices across the U．S. are by some measures at their least affordable levels since the financial crisis. 1. Which of the following best explains “recurring” underlined in the last paragraph? A. Reappearing. B. Surviving.
