That's true but it's mainly because the huge transplant wave post 2008 changed the rental market. Same with rents of 2+ bedroom apartments. 2 and 3 bedroom apartments used to be occupied mainly by families. Then came the wave of 30 year old children who lived with roommates.
NYC LL's aren't dumb. They started to cater to this cohort because they were more profitable.
