Yes, the <1.8% of us with _actually low_ rents (most stabilized apartments aren't nearly that low) are the reason you can't get an affordable apartment.

Keep dreaming.

Also, it's not just a matter of "I got mine." Living where I am afforded me class mobility that I likely would not have had in my life otherwise. I've been _dirt poor_ for most of my life, even in this apartment. What is your alternative to that?

Why are you so focussed on what other people have?
