Expensive apartments are not highly sought.
Items not in demand are cheap.
-> expensive apartments are cheap.
or The higher the price, the lower the demand.
The lower the demand, the lower the price.
-> the higher the price , the lower the price.
ergo ?? garbage in , garbage out!
Why am I thinking of Reagonomics right now ????

[The first form is as persuasive as the original syllogism.
The second seems to be no more than a statement of negative
feedback. Whether the system is stable depends on the nature
of the implied driving forces. It seems we are now dealing
with a temporal logic.
An example of an unstable system is:
The fewer items sold, the higher the unit price must be.
The higher the price, the fewer the items sold.
