Huh??!

Whatever

So it looks like I'm about to lose an apartment in NYC despite having good credit, being the first to file and complete all the attachments to the application, and offering to pay more than a couple of months up front.

Why you ask? Because the old tenant, who is moving early and must find somebody for the place, recommended somebody else who they showed the apt. to yesterday, and that person left a message on the answering machine of the management company before I did last night.

Manhattan real estate. Shoot me now.

Update: I'd like to retract part of my post about the CNN anchor who was bitching about Manhattan real estate. He's still an ass. But I have a little more sympathy now.
