You must be part of the 1% who pays low rent

Ha, I wish! No, $1200 would be a significant price drop.

I just don't get the joke here, but I think it's because I'm misunderstanding what's being said. I currently read it as a landlord being hung (by tenants?) for massively lowering rent once they get rich. I would think that this would be seen as a relatively uncommon and generous act, since the stereotypical wealthy landlord would keep the rental rate at the market value no matter how rich they got.

Oh I see, so the hangmen represent the "landlord cabal," if you will, or anybody that would benefit from high rental prices.
