Some say the East Village is dead, Manhattan has been murdered, and New York City has lost its soul. Some say that if you stand in the right place and squint hard enough, it can almost seem like the old city is still alive. Jeremiah Moss likes to think of the city as a crime scene, which he is investigating for clues, searching for the cause of death. In his new book, Vanishing New York: How a Great City Lost Its Soul , Moss sets out to chronicle what, exactly, has gone wrong with New York, where greed, hypergentrification, and government policies have conspired to kill off the unique character of dozens of neighborhoods. “I want it to be a body of evidence—this happened, this happened, this happened. When you lay it all out like that, it’s undeniable,” says Moss during a recent walk around the East Village. “It is not a natural change. It’s very deliberate, it’s very planned.

The first trick is to respond only to legitimate ads.  There is a ton of spam and fraud on Craigslist.  The primary sign that an ad is not legitimate is that the apartment is under priced and/or comes with unbelievable extras such as 2 garage spaces. I took a look just now and found a bunch of large, beautiful looking apartments with off street parking that were impossibly under priced, look like apartments located in Chicago (not NYC), and that were listed in the middle of the night by people with ridiculous 3 part names .  I searched for keywords in the ad description of one and found the exact same text advertising apartments in LA and Philadelphia (How could a legitimate ad for a Lower East Side apartment claim it was "close to the bus line?" That's flyover country talk .). But there are so many good looking deals, they can't all be spam or fraud, right? Sorry, the rental market in New York City is very efficient.  The probability that you can obtain a rental ...
