$700 rent in a good area is supposedly very possible. You need patience and a little extra: 1. Do some research and find large doorman buildings in your desired areas. 2. Do the foot work: go around chat with the doorman at each building to find out if it has rent-controlled apartments, and with renters who are likely to give up the lease soon due to divine intervention. 3. Ask the doorman to give you a heads up when that happens. A small gift would be called for at this point.

Many many well-to-do people hang on to cheap rent-controlled apartments (sometimes $500 - $600) in good buildings (where the market rate is $3000+), and they are envied by other well-to-do people. Just watch Seinfeld, that's one way New Yorkers keep score. "有便宜不占王八蛋" is not limited to Chinese or Jews.
