It's not quite that bad. Here are some actual listings for one-bedrooms in Crown Heights that rent between $1500-1700:

But everything is relative. Those apartments would rent for around $700-800 in my city.
- anamoulous 10y agoI don't think it's worth splitting hairs on Crown Heights real estate prices being exorbitant. They are. I moved here two years ago right when the 2nd wave of gentrifiers flooded the area. It's stark. You might be able to get a 1500-1700 if you _compete_ for one because landlords are beginning to mobilize crappy housing stock (like these apartments).
- dionidium 10y agoPlus, let's not forget that $1500 is still a lot of money to most people.

All the focus on absolute cost misses the income side of the equation, which hasn't kept up with the cost side.
