I feel for you.

This is the one time my laziness was a benefit. I didn't feel like looking at apartments during covid but was jealous of all the folks getting luxury units in great neighborhoods for the same price as my Flatbush one bed. I'd have been fucked when they raised them back to market rate post covid.

Now my one bed would probably rent for $400 more than I'm paying rn if it were market rate. And it'd likely have a brokers fee.
