Asking prices are what landlords ask, not what tenants sign. Thin means asking prices, or 3 readings or fewer: a rough guide. Taps are trips in and out at the area's bus stops and train gates on a working day, not customers, and a round trip counts twice. Each area's file holds its full record: the rent at common unit sizes, each station with its own taps, workers, competitors and household spending.
