Housing in NYC is expensive. Frankly, it's like whining that Porsche won't sell ...

I have no problem with expensive apartments. I paid 12K a month years back. That was fair.

This is just not fair pricing and is taking advantage of the situation that once you are there it's too late.

That has nothing to do with capitalism or retailing.

It has everything to do with it. Supply and Demand, etc. "Taking advantage" is a moral term. A capitalist would call it "leaving money on the table".

There is no such a thing as a pure capitalist unless you are claiming that there are people without any moral what so ever.

You are trying to separate two things as if that's possible. It's not. In language yes but in reality no.

I was not given all the information.
