Housing

Are people fleeing the city?

I live in a great 2 bedroom in Carroll Gardens, large rooms, high ceilings, low rent, the works. The kind of place people would kill for in the past. But it's almost impossible to find someone to move in. My posts on craigslist are buried under 20-30 similar or cheaper posts within the hour and get only 2-3 replies, many of whom never show up to look. Those that do tell me there are countless options to chose from. Friends have no leads. 4 people I know are moving out of NY to somewhere cheaper (including my brother, a commodities trader). This is not the competitive, seller's market I remember. I wonder when I can head over to my landlord's and renegotiate my rent.
