Whats up with the attitude?

This is not a guy who buy high and sell low. This is a guy who have a room in his own apartment where he cramped a kitchenette in and call it a studio (not mentioning that)

Since I couldn't go and see it before where does that leave me?

You are assuming that I had sufficient information before I moved in. I didn't.

Housing in NYC is expensive. Frankly, it's like whining that Porsche won't sell you a 911 for Miata money, and that furthermore, the car rental agency charges the equivilant of a monthly payment for just one week! Stop the presses...

[ThomPete]

I have no problem with expensive apartments. I paid 12K a month years back. That was fair.

This is just not fair pricing and is taking advantage of the situation that once you are there it's too late.

That has nothing to do with capitalism or retailing.

[TylerE]

It has everything to do with it. Supply and Demand, etc. "Taking advantage" is a moral term. A capitalist would call it "leaving money on the table".

[ThomPete]

There is no such a thing as a pure capitalist unless you are claiming that there are people without any moral what so ever.

You are trying to separate two things as if that's possible. It's not. In language yes but in reality no.

I was not given all the information.
