Battle for a Box

"Finding an apartment in New York City is about as much fun as dental surgery without Novocain. And who am I to judge? First there's the matter of traipsing all over the city to actually look at the apartments. Then once you've weeded out the ones that resemble jail cells or have walls so thin it sounds like you're living in a night club, there's the matter of being first in line to get it. In Manhattan one must wage battle with others for an overpriced box."
