That's an awesome writeup, and matches my personal experiences in NYC exactly.
I looked at 25 different apartments before I found the one I'm in now -- it was the first one I'd been the first person to see, and I told them I'd take it on the spot.
If no one's taken an apartment within a day, it's either overpriced or crappy or both. But managing to be the first person to see an apartment (which usually means before it's technically listed, so you need connections) is not easy.
