The Awl's Choire Sicha was eavesdropping in his neighborhood java joint and overheard the tale of a guy who walked into the Stuyvesant Town leasing office to inquire about an apartment: "The leasing office quotes this guy a price. And the guy says, that's funny, I already live in an identical apartment here and now not only am I definitely not paying the rent increase you just gave me on my new lease here, I'm going to pay 12% less in rent, because that's how much less of a price you just quoted me as a new tenant."
