arg (not verified) says:

Market rate apts do not outnumber RR apts two to one. Unless you are counting owner occupied units.

There are 3M houing units in NYC.

1M are owner occupied - meaning that they are not part of the rental stock.

1M are Rent Stablizid

about 50K are Rent Controlled

1M are market rate.

A more accurate statement with the correct emphasis would be that 50% of the rental units in nyc are rent regulated.
