Crowd of applicants waiting for their chance to view and apply for apartment in East Village, NYC. This was taken halfway through a 45-minute door-bounced wait for an apartment in the East Village. The apartment was a bedroom and kitchen. Aidan waited outside the building for 20 min before even getting to the stairway queue. People were tethering to their laptops in line in hopes of submitting paperwork in time for a chance at it.
