Recommended as the better buy with higher net margins (35%), stronger core FFO per share ($4.06), significantly higher dividend per share ($10.36), and impressive 32-year dividend growth history. Strong free cash flow ($1.1B) and focus on supply-constrained high-demand markets support long-term growth, though higher valuation multiples and West Coast-specific risks (earthquakes, rent control, litigation) are noted.
